Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD
Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD, ABPP-CN, is a neuropsychologist at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center passionate about understanding resilience to brain aging and neurodegeneration. She obtained her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the UCSD/SDSU Joint Doctoral Program and her fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center where she went on to join faculty. Her research program aims to prevent cognitive decline by understanding the biological and behavioral drivers of cognitive resilience. To test the translational biology that contributes to resilient cognitive aging, our team leverages molecular fluid biomarkers (plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, exosome), wearable-based behavioral measurement (e.g., Fitbit), and deep neurobehavioral phenotyping.
