The Rivera Mindt Lab, led by Dr. Mónica Rivera Mindt, is a research group jointly based at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Fordham University. We focus on promoting brain health equity through culturally informed neuroscience and community-engaged methods. The lab investigates how social, cultural, and structural factors influence brain aging, cognitive health, and disparities among diverse, understudied communities.
The Rivera Mindt Lab aims to advance healthy cognitive aging across populations; accelerate the inclusion of under-studied research populations in aging and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) research; train the next generation of scientists; and inform public health policy through data-driven  approaches.

With over 5 million Americans currently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, people are suffering everyday from the emotional and financial burden it places on families. By joining the Brain Health Registry you are helping to accelerate and broaden the possibilities for treatment.

The Brain Health Registry is a web-based, observational research study designed to effectively capture extensive amounts of data that may enable researchers to more efficiently identify, assess, and longitudinally monitor the cognitive changes associated with the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and brain aging.

Black Men's Brain Health

info@mensbrainhealth.org

Black men are historically less likely to participate in research studies. We understand why. But underrepresentation has consequences.

When our voice isn't heard, our pain is felt. The Black Men's Brain Health (BMBH) Registry aims to improve outcomes for Black Men by making it as easy as possible for researchers to study the unique problems faced by Black Men.

Help speed up important discoveries with the BMBH Registry. Getting started just takes a few minutes of your time.
