Biography & Research:
Dr. Timothy Hohman is an Assistant Professor of Neurology and a cognitive neuroscientist. He received his doctoral degree in neuroscience from American University focusing on cognitive and neural changes during normal aging. He also completed a fellowship as part of the National Institutes of Health Graduate Partnership Program in the Laboratory of Behavioral Neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging. He completed his postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt University in the Center for Human Genetics Research where he applied neuroimaging and neuropsychological measures as quantitative endophenotypes in genetic analyses of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Hohman’s research leverages advanced computational approaches from genomics, proteomics, and neuroscience to identify novel markers of Alzheimer’s disease risk and resilience. His interdisciplinary collaborations with the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium and others seek to develop new directions in AD research by emphasizing the biology of resilience and highlighting complex genotype-phenotype interactions.
