Eva Vasiljevic

Eva’s research focuses on identifying genetic risk factors for disease and environmental factors that can modify that risk. Her interests also extend to the applications of that research in a policy setting. She is currently investigating the relationship among Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers, lifestyle factors, and cumulative genetic risk for AD, as measured through polygenic scores. She is pursuing a Master of Public Affairs at the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs and a PhD in Population Health. Eva is an NIA trainee at the Center for Demography of Health and Aging.
