Joaquín Migeot leads research at the intersection of social determinants of health, brain aging, and equity in brain health across Latin America. He is also an Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health. He has authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications in leading international journals, including Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, Nature Aging, Trends in Neurosciences, and Alzheimer’s & Dementia. His work integrates social determinants of health, exposome science, and neurobiological markers to understand how structural inequality and lived environments shape brain aging and dementia risk. Methodologically, he combines multimodal neuroimaging, biomarkers, and advanced statistical and machine-learning approaches to model mechanisms linking adversity, allostatic load, interoceptive dysfunction, and neurocognitive decline. He contributes to large-scale regional collaborations, including the ReDLat Consortium, where he leads the integration and analysis of social, clinical, cognitive, and neuroimaging datasets across multiple Latin American countries. His contributions span empirical, theoretical, and meta-analytic work aimed at advancing equitable brain health and reducing disparities in dementia outcomes
