Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, we need to study the different interacting determinants of health and disease in aging populations in different localities and circumstances.
Strategy
Mohamed is studying the various factors affecting aging through a longitudinal cohort in the Egyptian population. This will help to identify intrinsic (e.g., genes) as well as extrinsic (e.g., pollution) factors responsible for health and disease in elderlies.
Impact
Mohamed believes that through being an Atlantic Fellow, he has gained a more global overview of dementia, understanding the value of working in a multidisciplinary team to decode interactive factors affecting brain health.
Motivation
Dementia is certainly a problem in Egypt, but we do not know the size of that problem because we haven’t yet studied it efficiently.
