Personal Hero
Agustin Ibañez
Words of Strength
Leadership, collaboration, empathy
Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, we need to build international networks, cross disciplinary boundaries, and empower basic and implementation science on brain health across underserved regions.
Strategy
Sol’s research combines behavioral and neuroimaging methods to improve the characterization of cognitive and socioemotional processes in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric conditions. Her work has implications for assessment and intervention.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Sol aims to lead projects based on the use of technologies like smartphone apps to gain knowledge on risk and protective factors for dementia and reduce barriers in the access to neurocognitive assessment in Latin America.
Motivation
Latin America is facing a rapid growth of dementia. Understanding the influence of social determinants of health on cognition is critical to develop regionally relevant strategies for the prevention and early detection of dementia.
Education & Experience
Sol holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), a master’s degree in Psychopathology, Health, and Neuropsychology (Universidad Jaume I, Spain), and a master’s degree in General Health Psychology (Universidad Jaume I, Spain). She is currently finishing her PhD in Neuroscience (Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina). Her research training included a stay at Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). She has a growing record of publications in journals such as Brain, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry (JNNP), NeuroImage, Cortex, Scientific Reports, and Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
