Brain injury has made it to list of modifiable risk factors for dementia. The session will provide information on the association between brain injury including concussion and all neurodegenerative diseases.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Tartaglia is a cognitive neurologist at the UHN Memory Clinic where she sees patients with neurodegenerative diseases and those with concussions who have persisting symptoms. She is a scientist and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. She holds the Marion and Gerald Soloway Chair in Brain Injury and Concussion Research. She uses a multi-modal approach that combines imaging and biofluid biomarkers to better diagnose and understand the pathological substrates that cause cognitive, behavioral and motoric dysfunction. The goal of her research program is to develop biomarkers for early detection of disease to bring precision medicine and targeted, early treatments to her patients.
