Shelli Kesler is a cognitive neuroscientist specializing in neuroimaging, neuropsychology, biostatistics, and machine learning programming. Her research focuses on the effects of systemic chronic illness on brain aging, aiming to enhance precision health management and address cognitive toxicities experienced by patients through biological subtyping and imaging transcriptomics related to cognitive dysfunction. Dr. Kesler investigates how systemic illness can accelerate brain aging, particularly through biological interactions often overlooked in the study of diseases in isolation. Her significant contributions to the field are highlighted by her successful acquisition of $14 million in external grant funding, including four National Institutes of Health R01 grants and the prestigious Director's New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health.
