Neus Falgàs, MD, PhD

Neus Falgàs completed the neurology residency at the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona where she was awarded as the best training resident (2016, 2017). In 2016, she was granted by the hospital to complete her training as a behavioral neurologist (predoc fellowship) at the Alzheimer's Unit while developing a three-year research project. This project, which was awarded by the Spanish Society of Neurology (2016), allowed her to complete the Ph.D. thesis centered on the performance of diagnostic biomarkers in early-onset Alzheimer's disease (Universitat de Barcelona, 2019). After the inspiring experience as an Atlantic Fellow at GBHI-UCSF (2019-2020), Neus worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Grinberg lab, UCSF in the research of sleep-wake alterations in Alzheimer’s Disease (2020-2021). Currently, she is based as a behavioral neurologist and researcher at the Alzheimer’s Unit of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. Her research focuses on uncovering the underlying subcortical changes driving sleep-wake alterations in neurodegenerative diseases.
