Dr. Avila-Reiger’s RCMAR pilot project is “Estrogen, Lifecourse Social Factors, and Cognitive Aging across Race/Ethnicity”. Dr. Avila-Rieger’s research focuses on identifying and understanding macro-social determinants of sex/gender and racial/ethnic disparities in Alzheimer’s disease. She is passionate about amplifying the voices and experiences of communities that are traditionally marginalized in dementia-related research and policy.
