Bing He, PhD
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW
Dr. He is a 3rd-year postdoctoral research fellow at the MAPP Lab. She completed her Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at Indiana University, Purdue University Indianapolis. Her research integrates multi-modal data, including MRI, PET, genetics, plasma, and cognitive measures with advanced computational approaches to improve early detection and prediction of Alzheimer’s disease progression. Her current work focuses on longitudinal analyses of basal forebrain structural and functional changes in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease, aiming to define the timing of cholinergic vulnerability and clarify how basal forebrain degeneration drives early progression. Outside of research, she enjoys cooking, reading, and hiking.
Vincent Malotaux, PhD
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW
Dr. Malotaux is a 3rd-year postdoctoral fellow at the MAPP Lab. He holds a Research Master’s in Psychology and a PhD in Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences from the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. His doctoral research integrated PET and MRI imaging to study sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. As a Wallonia-Brussels International Fellow, he now investigates how plasma biomarkers predict future brain and cognitive changes in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s Disease. Beyond research, he enjoys badminton, exploring historical maps, and Belgian waffles.
Catarina Tristão Pereira, PhD
POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW
Catarina Tristão Pereira is a 3rd year postdoctoral research fellow at the MAPP Lab. She graduated in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Lisbon and earned her PhD in Molecular Biosciences from the Autonomous University of Madrid. Her research focuses on the incidence of neuropsychiatric symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors in autosomal-dominant Alzheimer’s disease and older adults. She uses neuroimaging and blood-based biomarkers to determine biological correlates in the disease progression. Outside of work, Catarina enjoys reading, spending time with friends and traveling.
