Ryan Michael Nillo, BA, is a Staff Research Associate I for Dr. Rahul Desikan and Dr. Leo Sugrue at the Laboratory for Precision Neuroimaging in China Basin. He is interested in using structural imaging to predict and understand changes in structural brain networks under the effects of different neurodegenerative diseases. His projects have involved quantifying morphometric and correlational differences between control and disease cohorts.
