Judith A. Potashkin is a Senior Professor at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Her research focuses on molecular neurodegeneration, neurochemical biomarkers, and the neuroscience of aging, with particular emphasis on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and related dementias. Her recent work includes CSF α-synuclein seed amplification assays for dementia with Lewy bodies, co-expression network analysis linking loneliness to neuropsychiatric conditions, and the impact of lifestyle, diet, and physical activity on brain health and disease progression. She has also investigated diabetes as a tipping point in neurodegeneration and published on lifestyle-based reversal of bone mineral density loss.
