Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD is an Associate Professor of Neuropsychology and investigator on the BrANCH study. In July 2024, Dr. Casaletto gave a presentation titled "Sex Differences Across Neurodegenerative Diseases: Lessons in Resistance and Resilience" as a part of the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative. She discussed sex differences in neurodegenerative diseases, and whether we can leverage biological sex to unlock healthful aging for all brains.
Dr. Casaletto's research program aims to prevent cognitive decline by identifying the biological and behavioral drivers (e.g., sex and gender) of cognitive resilience with age. Her work incorporates fluid biomarkers, neuropathology indicators, and digital health capture of behavior to deeply understand human brain aging and disease.
