Eileen H. Bigio, MD

Professor of Pathology
Division of Neuropathology
Director of the Neuropathology Core of the Nortwestern Alzheimer's Disease Center, Dr. Bigio evaluates the pathology of all cases that come to autopsy and provides tissues and consultation to research investigators requesting such services from the Neuropathology Core. Areas of specific interest include frontotemporal degenerations and motor neuron disease, wth a current focus on the roles of morphologic abnormalities, such as ubiquitin and tau positive inclusions, in frontotemporal dementia, motor neuron disease-associated dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, variations in the pathology underlying primary progressive aphasia, and identification of the major protein component of the ubiquitinated deposits in FTD-MND. Dr. Bigio also collaborates with basic science investigators in evaluating the neuropathology of their mouse models of neurodegenerative disease.

Emily Rogalski, PhD

Research Assistant Professor
Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine

Dr. Rogalski's lab within the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC) focuses on structural neuroimaging related to cognitive systems in healthy aging and disease. Her studies investigate the relationship between cognitive mechanisms of language and memory and structural brain changes that accompany aging and dementia. Training in her lab provides students with skills for image analysis and synthesis of brain structure and function.
