Melina Tsotras

Assistant Research Scientist
I am an Assistant Research Scientist in the Micro To Macro Imaging Lab, where I study brain aging using multimodal approaches that integrate MRI, plasma proteomics, and transcriptomics. My research focuses on women’s brain health, particularly how midlife physiological transitions such as menopause and related cardiometabolic changes may influence later neurodegenerative risk. Broadly, I am interested in developing interpretable, clinically meaningful biomarkers of brain health and using data science to better understand vulnerability and resilience across the lifespan.
