First paper from CHEN lab!🩸->🧠Can we use p-tau217 value to estimate PET-like map of AD pathology?🤔 We say YES!💡In two datasets (A4, ADNI), p-tau217 level can predict concurrent Ab (but NOT Ab change) and future tau accumulation almost everywhere! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚨I’m recruiting PhD students interested in neuroimaging of aging and Alzheimer’s disease to join my new lab at Stony Brook University. Deadline Dec 15. For anyone interested and going to #SfN2023, feel free to contact me! I’d love to chat in DC and answer any questions you may have! 🧠#neuroskyence
The Cognitive HEalth and Neurodegeneration Lab (CHEN Lab) in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University will be accepting PhD students in Integrative Neuroscience. The CHEN lab, led by Dr. Xi Chen, is focused on brain and cognitive changes in aging, including a broad spectrum ranging from older individuals with exceptional cognition (“super-agers”) to those in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

To apply:
• Please check out the lab website for more information: drxichen.com
• If interested, please apply through the University’s doctoral program (Integrative Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University) before Dec 15.
• For questions regarding this opportunity, please contact Dr. Xi Chen at xi.chen.8@stonybrook.edu.The Psychology Department at Stony Brook University encompasses doctoral programs in Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Science, Integrative Neuroscience, and Social and Health Psychology. Being the birthplace of MRI, Stony Brook University has a 3 Tesla Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma MRI scanner at the Social, Cognitive, and Affective Neuroscience (SCAN) Center; a PET research facility with on-site cyclotron and research-dedicated simultaneous PET/MRI scanner and PET/CT scanners; the Center for Understanding Biology using Imaging (CUBIT); and the Stony Brook Neurosciences Institute, which includes the Center for Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease, Neuromodulation Center, Center for Affective Neuroscience of Depression and Anxiety (CANDA), Mind-Body Clinical Research Center, and Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center, among others.
