Renaud La Joie

Dr. Renaud La Joie originally trained in Neuroscience, Neuropsychology, and Neuroimaging in Caen, France before moving to California for his post-doctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley and then at UCSF.

In his research, he combines multimodal neuroimaging techniques, fluid biomarkers, and neuropsychological measures to study the natural history of Alzheimer’s disease and other age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. He has established strong collaborations with neuropathologists to help bridge in vivo and post-mortem measures of brain pathology and guide a rigorous interpretation of in vivo biomarker data. His overarching goal is to understand the drivers of clinical heterogeneity and improve our ability to provide patients with a precise diagnosis and prognosis.

Dr La Joie’s research is supported by the Alzheimer’s Association, NIA/NIH, and the US department of defense. His work has been awarded the de Leon award in neuroimaging, and the Christopher Clark at the Human Amyloid Imaging Conference.
