Dr. Guzmán-Vélez directs a research program at the Rutgers Center for Healthy Aging Research focused on culturally-sensitive, interdisciplinary observational and intervention studies. Her work aims to address brain health and dementia risk in diverse populations, with particular interest in: 1) Identifying midlife risk factors for AD and related dementias; 2) Understanding the pathophysiology and mechanisms underlying long COVID-related neurological symptoms; 3) Testing interventions that can improve brain health and cognition.
