Renaud La Joie

Renaud initially joined the lab in 2008 for a 6-month internship, however, found himself staying involved in the lab for several years to complete both a Master’s degree and a PhD. Renaud worked extensively with high-resolution MRI data to assess hippocampal subfields, helped implement Glorbetapir-PET in the lab to measure amyloid deposition, and played with multimodal imaging to study neurodegenerative processes and their relationships to cognitive deficits. After his defence, Renaud moved to the Bay Area, where he’s been a post-doctoral fellow with Bill Jagust at UC Berkeley, and with Gil Rabinovici at UC San Francisco. In spite of the distance and time difference, Renaud has kept collaborating with Chételat’s lab on a regular basis.
