Research interests

Dr. Kiselica directs the Clinical Evaluation and Research in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ClEaR-ADRD) lab. In addition, he leads the Missouri Neurodegenerative Disease Registry, which connects older adults and their family members with research opportunities. Research in the lab focuses on three areas: 1) developing and validating advanced techniques for early detection of symptoms of ADRD; 2) examining how commercial technologies, like smartphones, can improve the lives of older adults, people with ADRD, and care partners; and 3) improving understanding of the relationship between stress and cognitive decline. The lab has been continuously funded by the Alzheimer’s Association and the NIH since 2019.
