Congratulations to Dr. Ryan Dougherty, who successfully defended his doctoral dissertation earlier this month and earned his PhD in ​kinesiology with a neuroscience minor. Dr. Dougherty worked in the labs of Ozioma Okonkwo, PhD, in the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, and Dane Cook, PhD, in the School of Education’s Department of Kinesiology. His research interests revolve around modifiable lifestyle factors that can be targeted to delay the onset of age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Dougherty will be relocating to Baltimore, Maryland, this summer to begin his postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University on the school’s Aging and Age-Related Cognitive Disorders T32 Fellowship.
