Giulia Lorenzon, MSc, PhD

Dr. Lorenzon is a postdoctoral researcher investigating sex-specific vulnerabilities in brain health and Alzheimer’s disease. Her work focuses on how reproductive lifespan factors and hormonal exposures shape functional brain connectivity across the female lifespan, particularly during the menopausal transition, and how these processes relate to brain pathology and cognitive decline.

Building on her PhD at Karolinska Institutet, where she investigated heterogeneity in aging and Alzheimer’s disease using MRI biomarkers, her current work integrates multimodal neuroimaging, plasma biomarkers, and detailed clinical phenotyping in longitudinal cohorts of amnestic and non-amnestic Alzheimer’s disease.

She is also interested in brain–body interactions, including the role of stress and psychosomatic mechanisms.
