Biography

Dr. Ginny L. Natale is a research assistant professor and studies inflammatory risks and onset of Alzheimer's and dementia. Her broad training in both biological and social sciences bring a unique perspective to the study of aging and the social determinants of health and ADRD. Currently, her postdoc research is focused on targeting my prior research areas to examine how social factors serve as a risk of risks of developing ADRD pathology and cognitive impairment. In essence, Dr. Natale seeks to apply my previous experience on racial/ethnic health disparities in chronic disease and disability to the study of aging. Her knowledge of social disadvantage and health outcomes will add a new perspective to the aging discussions and understanding of additional risk factors for Alzheimer ’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) beyond strictly genetic or biological processes. Her long-term professional goals include being an expert in the field of minority aging and the health disparities in ADRD pathology and disease progression.
