The 2007 grant recipient was Anna MacKay,
a doctoral candidate in her final year at Washington University
in St. Louis, Missouri. Ms. MacKay is conducting her doctoral
research in the neuropsychological program with a focus on gerontology.
Ms. MacKay’s research is the first step of a research
plan investigating the benefits of cognitive training in healthy
older adults in order to discover the mechanisms that explain
cognitive improvement. This research will aid in discovering
treatments to alleviate and improve the debilitating effects
of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Ms MacKay was also the 2001 recipient of the prestigious four-year
grant open to all women in any graduate program at Washington
University in St. Louis.
