Research Interests: My research is primarily involved in investigating various risk factors for dementia in African Americans. These potential causative risk factors revolve around three areas. The first area involves various physiological factors such as high blood pressure, thyroid levels and various structures in the brain. The second involve various environmental factors such as stress and diet and the third area involves genetic risk factors associated with memory problems. This research will provide needed information to better understand with-in differences that impacts African Americans with memory problems.
