Biography
Matthew Pase is an Associate Professor at Monash University. He leads the Epidemiology of Dementia Lab, the Aging and Neurodegeneration Research Program at the School of Psychological Science, and the Aging Well Pillar at the Turner Institute.
Matthew completed his Ph.D. on vascular contributions to cognitive aging before undertaking postdoctoral training in Neurology and Neuroepidemiology at the Framingham Heart Study and Boston University School of Medicine. He has formally held appointments as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard and as a Senior Research Fellow at the Florey Institute.
Dr. Pase’s current research uses large cohort studies to advance the understanding of modifiable risk and protective factors for dementia. He is also involved in the validation of non-invasive biomarkers for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia.
A/Prof Pase is PI of the Brain and Cognitive Health (BACH) cohort, Co-PI of the NIH funded Sleep and Dementia Consortium, and PI of Inflammatory biomarkers to diagnose dementia study. In addition, A/Prof Pase co-leads the Cognitive Working Group of the International Stroke Genetics Consortium, and is a Senior Investigator on the Framingham Heart Study.
