In this week’s Scientist Highlights, we feature Kacie Deters, PhD, who became a San Diego AD-RCMAR Scientist in 2021. Dr. Deters’ RCMAR pilot project is “Race- and sex-based disparities in cognitive and genetic Alzheimer’s disease risk factors”. Her research focuses on ethnic and racial disparities in predictors (genetic; neuroimaging; neuropsychological assessments; social/environmental factors) for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in older adults, primarily from the Black community.
