Dr. Deborah Rose graduated from the neurology resident here at Duke in 2024. She is now a Behavioral Neurology Fellow at a combined program with Johns Hopkins University and the NIA. She will gain clinical experience in behavioral neurology while conducting research to establish how Adverse Childhood Events contribute to the development and possibly explain the racial disparities in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in minoritized groups.

I also served on the dissertation committee for the graduate student Sebnem Eren Cevik at North Carolina State University in 2023. Dr. Eren Cevik received completed her defense and has accepted a position with the NIH. James Park is a current graduate student in the Department of Bioinformatics at North Carolina State University. I currently serve as a dissertation committee member to James as well.

Ling Wu, MD, PhD, is a current REC scholar in the Duke-UNC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC). I currently serve as an advisory committee member for Dr. Wu.

Drs. Dylan Ryan and Joel Page IV are recent graduates of the stroke and epilepsy fellowships respectively here at Duke. Dr. Ryan has since joined the Duke stroke division as a faculty member and is focused on developing a clinical algorithm aimed at discerning the optimal treatment approach for patients receiving anti-amyloid therapies who present with stroke syndromes and are candidates for the administration of alteplase. Dr. Page IV is now in his behavioral neurology fellowship at the University of Florida. While at Duke he was interested in investigating novel biomarkers for the detection of ARIA in patients receiving lecanemab.

Bryce Polascik, a medical student at Wake Forest University medical school class of 2025 and Sanya Shah a recent graduate of UNC Chapel Hill, are interested in the clinical characterization of convalescent COVID-19 patients. They have published 2 manuscripts describing the neurological outcomes after contracting COVID-19. Sanya Shah graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2023. She will begin medical school in 2025 at UNC. Sam Ndukwe matriculated into his first year of medical school in 2023. I currently serve as his medical student mentor.

Charlotte Jones graduated from Duke University in 2023. She is a current clinical research coordinator at NYU and aims to pursue a career in medicine after taking a gap year.

Alexandra Springer graduated from Duke in 2024 and received degrees in psychology, French language and literature. She is currently a clinical research coordinator in the Duke Brain Tumor Center. She has an interest in neuroscience and is currently working on a case series to determine the prevelance of Alzheimer's Disease and Neuronal Synuclein Disease (NSD).

Ahilan Eraniyan is a current Duke undergraduate student in his sophomore year who looks to pursue a career in medicine. He also has an interest in neurodegenerative diseases. He is currently writing a review article about the overlap of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, AD and NSD.

Anjali Bandi is a current Duke undergraduate student in her junior year with an interest in a career in medicine. She currently conducts translational research in Dr. Andy West's lab and would like to establish the prevelance of NSD in Alzheimer's Disease patients.
