Michael Alosco, PhD, is a clinical neuropsychologist and Associate Professor of Neurology at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, where he serves as the Vice Chair of Research, Co-Director of Clinical Research at the BU CTE Center, and Leader of the BU Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Clinical Core. His career has been devoted to studying methods to detect and diagnose neurodegenerative diseases during life, particularly chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He is the PI of several NIH-funded grants focused on this effort in addition to those that investigate the long-term white matter and vascular consequences of repetitive head impacts from contact and collision sport participation. His research has laid the foundation for the development and validation of ways to detect pathologies from repetitive TBIs during life. He hopes his work will ultimately lead to the development of strategies to treat and prevent CTE and Alzheimer’s disease.
