Sex-Specific Imaging Signatures and Disease Progression
January 29, 2026
What this project does
Identifies imaging patterns that differ between women and men and examines how these relate to clinical outcomes.
Why it matters clinically
Sex differences in brain pathology may explain variation in symptoms, disease progression, and treatment response.
Key activities
- Analyze sex-based differences in tau burden, neurodegeneration, and vascular co-pathology
- Integrate imaging with immune, vascular, and α-synuclein biomarkers
- Evaluate relationships between imaging findings and cognitive trajectories
What will be delivered
- Sex-specific imaging signatures
- Imaging-based markers of progression and risk
Who this helps
- Clinicians seeking biologically informed prognostic tools
- Researchers developing sex-informed diagnostic strategies
