Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Translational Work-in-Progress (ADRD-TWIP): Nathan Wages, PhD

“Elucidating Mechanistic Underpinning of a Mind-Body Intervention in older adults with MCI and AD. A Katz Grant Application”

Nathan Wages, PhD 
Assistant Professor, Department of Rehabilitation & Movement Sciences, School of Health Professions
Core Member, Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI)

Dr. Wages will present the specific aims for a Katz R01 grant, which he is an MPI with Dr. Jean-Francois Daneault. Dr. Wages’ research focuses on delineating the dysfunction of the neuromuscular & sensorimotor systems with profound muscle weakness, due to aging (e.g., sarcopenia), injury (e.g., ACL), illness (e.g., COVID-19), & neurodegeneration (e.g., Alzheimer’s Disease), as well as its potential restoration. This is not a formal talk, and discussion and critique are very much welcome!
