Rachel Buckley is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. After initially completing her PhD in Neuropsychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia, with the Australian Imaging Biomarker and Lifestyle Study of Aging, she then moved to Boston to train in PET neuroimaging and cognitive decline under Dr. Reisa Sperling at the Harvard Aging Brain Study.
Rachel's research interests lie in sex differences in risk for Alzheimer's disease, and she holds multiple NIH grants, as well as a fellowship from the Alzheimer's Association, that seek to examine the role of menopause, sex hormones and the X chromosome to impact risk and resilience to AD in both men and women. Rachel is also the Chair of the Sex and Gender Differences in Alzheimer's disease Professional Interest Area for the Alzheimer's Association and sits on the editorial board for Neurology, as well as the Alzheimer's & Dementia sister journal, Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring.
Rachel is the daughter of AWC member, Dallas Buckley. Her talk will focus on the impact of women's health on Alzheimer's disease and the extent to which women are both susceptible and resilient to this disease.
