See Contact DetailsDr. Ganzer’s passion is the role of risk reduction as a key strategy in promoting and prolonging healthy cognition as we age. As part of a multidisciplinary team from Weill-Cornell Medical College and funded through the Clinical Translational Science Center (UL1 TR000457-06), she has explored the effects of Type 2 diabetes (DM2), cognition and its effect on amyloidosis, the clumping of proteins that block signaling in the brain which occurs in Alzheimer’s disease. The team has also examined how specific lifestyle (diet, physical activity) and vascular risk (overweight, hypertension, insulin resistance, elevated cholesterol and homocysteine) effects cognition (memory, executive function, language).
