Dr. Cantu Awarded New Grant from NIA

Jul 25, 2024, 10:28 AM by SCOA

Congratulations to Phil Cantu, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Division of Geriatrics and former postdoctoral trainee in the Sealy Center on Aging and his new NIH/NIA grant award, "Informant Measures Of Cognitive Decline In Mexico". This research project aims to better understand how cognitive abilities, such as memory and problem-solving skills, change as people age in Mexico. The study will use information reported by close family members or caregivers about these cognitive abilities and compare it with clinical assessments. The goal is to improve how we measure and understand changes in cognitive function, which is crucial for planning healthcare services and dementia care.
