Dr. Seixas-Lima's research examines the heterogeneity of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by integrating multimodal data to identify and characterize meaningful disease subtypes. Using large-scale clinical datasets, she investigates how demographic, neuropsychological, and neuropathological factors shape cognitive trajectories and influence how these conditions manifest across individuals. Through these analyses, she works to uncover biomarkers and cognitive profiles that better reflect the complexity of neurodegenerative disorders. This work deepens our understanding of underlying disease mechanisms and supports the development of more precise diagnostic approaches. By identifying markers linked to specific cognitive and biological patterns, Dr. Seixas-Lima's research can help guide personalized interventions and improve patient outcomes. Ultimately, this work strengthens the translation of research insights into clinical decision making and advances the broader goal of precision medicine in dementia care.
