"Ian McDonough"Bio:
My training is in cognitive psychology with an emphasis on memory and aging. As graduate student, my research focused on the neural correlates of memory and decision processes to determine the accuracy of retrieved information and how these neural correlates differ across the lifespan. This research was conducted using both behavioral interventions and functional neuroimaging, and was supported by multiple dissertation awards. As a postdoc, I expanded my research focus to Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers to predict future cognitive impairments. I also received training in multivariate methods (support vector machine and partial least squares), structural neuroimaging analyses (brain volume, cortical thickness, diffusion tensor imaging), and longitudinal analyses (HLM). In Fall of 2015, I became an Assistant Professor at The University of Alabama and an Associate of the Alabama Research Institute on Aging, where I continue to investigate how various factors serve as biomarkers to predict early pathological changes in older adults. In my first year, I received the NIH/OBSSR Matilda White Riley Early Stage Investigator Honors and attended the highly competitive NIH/NIA Butler-Williams Scholar Program. In my second year, I was accepted into the NIH Health Disparities Research Training Certificate Program as a NIA Deep South Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) scholar, through which I was awarded the 2017 Charles Barkley Health Disparities Research Investigator Award.
