He leads studies including the Religious Orders Study and the Rush Memory and Aging Project, connecting community-based observations with genomics, imaging, biomedical measurements, and neuropathology. The broader research program examines Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, sleep, decision-making, and well-being. This multidisciplinary approach links the lived experience of aging with biological mechanisms, providing resources for investigating risk, resilience, and potential strategies for preventing or treating neurological disease.
