Vidyani Suryadevara
Instructor, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsA Bioengineer by training, she has a breadth of experiences across different scientific disciplines including pulmonary diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and musculoskeletal disorders, wherein her research projects involved unraveling signaling mechanism behind the disease in order to identify new therapeutic targets and developing imaging modalities for early diagnosis of the disease, thus eventually improving the quality of life in patients. Her current work has been centered around age-associated pathophysiologies like osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's Disease. Her research currently focuses on the clinical translation of a novel noninvasive multimodality imaging approach to detect senescence in osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's Disease and understand the senescence biology in these age-associated diseases.
She has led teams of renowned senescence scientists across the US to develop expert recommendations for biomarkers for senescence. She is also a faculty fellow in the Center for Innovation at Global Health, wherein her focus is to develop region-specific lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia. -
