EcoMind and biological pathways in cognitive aging – Debora Rizzuto group

Our research focuses on the role of environmental exposures on cognition and mental health. We also investigate the biological underpinnings that underly the link between environmental pollution and cognitive aging, by exploring the impact of different pool of biomarkers on the pathway linking air pollution to dementia.
