Research is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to deepening our understanding of cognitive and neurological disorders and translating that knowledge into better diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes for individuals and families.
Our research focuses on real-world impact, early identification, and improving quality of life for those affected by memory, language, behavioral, or executive function changes.
OUR FOCUS AREAS
We are actively involved in both independent and collaborative research projects focused on:
- Neurodegenerative Disorders
Investigating conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and atypical dementias to better understand their progression and heterogeneity. - Early Detection & Biomarkers
Exploring clinical, cognitive, imaging, and biological markers that aid in early and accurate diagnosis of cognitive impairment. - Cognitive Aging & Resilience
Studying the factors that promote brain resilience and protect against age-related cognitive decline. - Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatric Symptoms
Examining the interface between neurology and mental health, including changes in mood, personality, and social cognition. - Intervention Studies & Clinical Trials
Participating in studies that evaluate the impact of non-pharmacological interventions such as cognitive rehabilitation, lifestyle modifications, and caregiver-based therapies.
WHY IT MATTERS
Research allows us to:
- Personalize treatment based on the latest evidence
- Improve prognostic tools and care planning
- Empower patients and families with science-backed knowledge
- Contribute to global efforts to prevent and manage dementia
JOIN OUR RESEARCH EFFORTS
Our research team partners with leading academic institutions, hospitals, and professionals to foster innovation.
We are always looking for individuals (patients, caregivers, and healthy volunteers) who wish to contribute to scientific advancement. Participating in research is completely voluntary and can make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
If you’re interested in learning more about our ongoing studies or how you can be involved, please get in touch or speak to your clinician during your visit.
PAST PROJECTS
1. Neural Substrates and Networks of Second Language Processing by the Brain in Bilinguals by Studying Patients with Semantic Dementia – Prof. Karalyn Patterson, University of Cambridge, UK
2. Brain Maintenance and Cognitive Reserve: A study from South India – Prof. Carol Brayne, University of Cambridge, UK
3. Mini-Linguistic State Examination (MLSE) – A Brief Test to Diagnose Primary Progressive Aphasia – Adaptation and Validation in Hindi and Kannada. MRC. Prof. Peter Garrard, University College London, UK
4. Right Temporal Variant Semantic Dementia – International Neuropsychiatric FTD Consortium – Yolande Pijnenberg, Department of Neurology, Alzheimer Centre, Amsterdam
5. Development and Validation of a Comprehensive Clinical and Neuropsychological Battery for Use in the Indian Context for Patients with Vascular Cognitive Impairment: Given the multilingual nature of the Indian population, the battery was validated in multiple languages, including Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, and English. This was a multi-centre project conducted across five centres in India (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, and Trivandrum) and was funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)
