Anna Jane Dreyer is a neuropsychologist interested in the role of social determinants in cognitive impairment and dementia and how to measure and diagnose cognitive impairment fairly and accurately in diverse and socioeconomically disadvantaged settings. Her work aims to advocate for health equity through understanding the modifiable risk factors for dementia associated with socioeconomic inequalities.

I am a clinically certified speech-language pathologist. My research focuses on determining ways to better understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying semantic cognition in patients diagnosed with frontotemporal lobar degeneration and its subtypes, such as primary progressive aphasia, and Alzheimer's disease.
