In this week’s Scientist Highlights, we feature Miguel Arce Rentería, PhD, who became a Columbia Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer’s Disease Disparities (CIRAD) RCMAR Scientist in 2018. His research investigates the sociocultural and environmental determinants of disparities in cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). His current focus has been on determining factors of reserve and resilience to ADRD among racial/ethnic minorities, such as understanding the role of bilingualism, literacy, and quality of education.
