Yumiko is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Clinical Health Psychology, working under the supervision of Dr. Laura Martin in the MIND Lab at the Hoglund Brain Imaging Center. For her clinical training, she is currently completing an advanced practicum at KUMC Neurology.

Yumiko's research interests include investigating both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors contributing to Alzheimer's disease, with the ultimate goal of advancing precision medicine in the field of aging. Presently, her research focuses on brain imaging data and lifestyle behaviors in preclinical Alzheimer's disease. She is currently working on her dissertation using the dataset from the UK Biobank. Beyond her primary focus, Yumiko is also interested in dissemination and implementation research, bridging the gap between scientific discoveries and practical applications to improve the quality of care of older populations.
