Xiuxiu is a Neuroimaging Data analyst at RabLab. She obtained her Master’s degree in Biomedical Imaging from UC San Francisco. Currently, Xiuxiu works on processing and analyzing amyloid and tau PET data to further understand Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementias. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, running, and rock climbing as well as hanging out with her cat Sesame.
Jacob completed his doctoral work in Neuroscience in the Jagust lab at UC Berkeley, where he investigated the effects of network connectivity on Alzheimer’s pathology spread and cognitive aging. His research utilizes fMRI and PET imaging to study the biological substrates of changes in cognition.
As a postdoctoral fellow with Drs. Renaud La Joie and Gil Rabinovici at UCSF, Jacob works to unify measures of brain connectivity to uncover the biological features driving pathology spread in clinically heterogenous populations of neurodegenerative disease.
