Dr. Johnson’s research is focused on three main themes: 1) presymptomatic detection of Alzheimer’s disease at the level of the individual person using advanced biomarker technology; 2) health and lifestyle factors that increase or decrease risk for Alzheimer’s disease and eventual cognitive impairment; 3) going beyond AD: characterizing the multiple-etiologies that may be present in any given individual.
