Dr. Raffaella Migliaccio obtained his medical degree and specialized clinical training in neurology in Naples, Italy. To continue her research on patients with neurodegenerative diseases, she spent part of her doctoral training at the Memory and Aging Center of the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). While at UCSF, she worked on several cognitive and neuroimaging studies on Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal Dementia. In particular, she has begun to study early and atypical variants of AD, such as posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) and logopenic progressive aphasia (PLA). After leaving UCSF, she obtained her doctorate (2009) and moved to Paris for a post-doc at the INSERM unit, at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital. Since 2015, Dr. Migliaccio is CR1 Inserm (Associate Professor) at Paris Brain Institute, at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, in Paris. She continues to study early and atypical variants of Alzheimer's disease, focusing in particular on the effect of pathological changes in Alzheimer's disease on functional neural networks, using MRI techniques. In addition, it will extend this multi-modal research approach (clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging) to FTD.
