Claire Alexander, PhD

About

Biography

I am Claire Alexander, assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I specialize in cognition and aging, patient outcomes, and psychosocial factors that influence cognitive health. My research focuses on cognitive aging, neurological conditions, and the factors that shape patient experiences and outcomes.

My research background is rooted in geriatrics and cognitive aging. I have contributed to research examining risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and investigating psychosocial functioning in healthy aging populations. Through quantitative research methods, including observational studies, surveys, and questionnaires, I study how cognitive, behavioral, and social factors affect health and well-being across the lifespan.

My current and future research interests center on improving outcomes for individuals living with neurological conditions. I am particularly interested in understanding psychosocial outcomes, identifying opportunities to enhance quality of life, and advancing quality improvement initiatives within clinical settings. Through this work, I aim to support patient-centered care and contribute to strategies that improve both patient health outcomes and the delivery of neurological care.
