MD, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, India
Sukriti Nag is a Board Certified neuropathologist and professor of pathology (neuropathology) at the RUSH Alzheimer's Disease Center (RADC). She trained in anatomic pathology at Rhode Island Hospital (Brown University) Providence, R.I., and Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, and trained in neuropathology at Queen's University where she also obtained MSc and PhD degrees in the field of experimental neuropathology. Her grant-funded research initially at Queen’s University and later at the University of Toronto was in the area of the biology of cerebral endothelium and the reactivity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in health and disease with emphasis on the pathogenesis of BBB breakdown in CNS disorders. She has received several awards for her work. She started at the RADC in July of 2010. In addition to collaborative research, she provided the neuropathology assessment for 1400 brains received in 3 longitudinal studies of aging - the RUSH Religious Orders Study, the Memory and Aging Project and the Minority Aging Research Project. Currently, she provides neuropathology support for the study “African Ancestry and the Genomic Architecture of AD and Other Common Neurodegenerative Disease Neuropathologies”. Her research interests are neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and the neurovascular unit (Blood-Brain Barrier).

Collaboration in the following research grants: P30AG010161 (Bennett) 9/30/91-6/30/16 National Institute on Aging Rush Alzheimer's Disease Core Center The major goals of this Core Center Grant are to provide core infrastructure support for research regarding aging and AD. R01AG017917 (Bennett) 9/30/01-3/31/19 National Institute on Aging Epidemiologic Study of Neural Reserve and Neurobiology of Aging The major goal of the continuation of MAP is to discover additional proteins associated with the slope of cognitive decline, after accounting for the effects of common pathologies. R01NS078009 (Buchman) 9/15/12-6/30/17 NINDS The Clinical Profile of Parkinson's Disease (PD) Pathology The overall goal is to characterize the clinical profile of PD pathology in older persons without a diagnosis of PD. R01AG043379 (Buchman) 9/30/12-5/31/17 NIA Brain and Spinal Cord Microvascular Pathology in Late-Life Motor Impairment The overall goal is to test the hypothesis that specific microvascular pathologies in the brain and spinal cord contribute to late-life motor impairment. R01NS082416 (Hall) 3/1/13-2/28/17 NINDS Adult Neurological Phenotypes of Fragile X Gray Zone Expansion This project will focus on determining prevalence rates of gray zone FMR1 gene expansion in previously collected cases and characterization of the clinical and pathological phenotypes of these individuals R01AG042210 (Schneider) 7/1/12-3/31/17 NIA Epidemiologic study of TDP-43 pathology in aging and dementia The major goal of the grant is to test the hypothesis that TDP-43 pathology in the aging brain is a separate disease that increases the odds of dementia and has a distinct cognitive phenotype, and specific genetic risk factors, separate from AD and other pathologies.
