Dr. Katherine Turk is Awarded an Alzheimer’s Association Clinical Fellowship Award

Dr. Katherine Turk, an instructor in Neurology at BUSM and physician scientist pursuing fellowship training at VA Boston has been awarded the Alzheimer’s Association Clinical Fellowship Award for her project in the lab of Dr. Andrew Budson, using event related potentials to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease in the clinic. The funding of $150,000 over three years allows extension of the project to include Amyloid PET scans for participants as well as quantitative MRI techniques. Ultimately the project will compare diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease using event related potential techniques to Amyloid PET techniques as a gold standard.
