Maiya R. Geddes, MD
Maiya Geddes is a Killam Scholar and FRSQ Neurologist Scientist at McGill University. She leads a highly translational cognitive neuroscience research program at the Neuro focused on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying motivational resilience and vulnerability in aging and Alzheimer’s disease. We apply these findings to help older adults lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. Our research combines cutting-edge behavioral and multi-modal neuroimaging techniques including machine learning methods. In addition, we design and lead novel behavioral clinical trials with the goal of enhancing healthy lifestyle engagement in aging to prevent dementia. Our research is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Fonds de Recherche Santé Québec, the Canada Brain Research Fund, an innovative arrangement between the Government of Canada through Health Canada and Brain Canada Foundation, the Alzheimer Society Research Program, the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, through the Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives initiative at McGill University, and the National Institutes of Health.
