Vijay K. Ramanan, M.D., Ph.D., is a Neurologist with subspecialty interest in Cognitive/Behavioral Neurology. His clinical focus includes expertise in:

  • Diagnosis and management of Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders
  • Identification and treatment of potentially reversible causes of cognitive impairment, including transient epileptic amnesia, normal pressure hydrocephalus, and sleep disorders
  • Precision medicine application of novel therapies for dementia syndromes
  • Genetic and lifestyle factors influencing clinical heterogeneity in Alzheimer's and related disorders

In addition to his clinical activities, Dr. Ramanan is active in research, including publishing high-impact manuscripts integrating multimodal data (genetic, neuroimaging, fluid biomarker, and cognitive assessment) to illuminate mechanisms and novel treatment targets for Alzheimer's and related disorders. He also provides committed education and mentorship to residents and fellows, and participates in numerous leadership and service roles within and outside of the institution.
