Dr. Bubu is an Associate Professor and physician scientist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (NYUGSoM), in the Departments of Psychiatry, Population Health and Neurology, with a programmatic research focus on sleep, aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Dr. Bubu is also Director of the Aging Research in Sleep Equity & Dementia Prevention (ARISE-DP) program; Associate Clinical Core Leader, NYU Alzheimer Disease Research Center; and a Core Investigator, NYU Institute of Excellence in Health Equity. Dr. Bubu has graduate, internship, and fellowship-level clinical and research training in neurology, neuro-epidemiology and public health. His research examines how age-related and age-dependent sleep changes, and vascular risk, impact cognitive decline and AD risk, and how they drive AD related disparities. He has received various foundational and NIH grants to fund his research, and has continued to establish his emerging national presence as a sleep and AD investigator. He has been involved in various research projects that have established that sleep is associated with cognitive decline, and AD. He has collaborated with experts in the field on intramural, foundation and NIH grants, with significant contributions that have led to findings with significant contributions that serve as a critical step in the continuum of research expected to consolidate our understanding of how changes in rest-activity patterns, and sleep-wake cycles can be utilized as predictive and preventive tools to identify and treat individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. His current research focus and logical extension to sleep health disparities and cognitive outcomes involves fostering the development of rigorously assessed partnerships with community stakeholders and leveraging multi-sectoral partnerships to advance sleep and aging health equity, utilizing a health equity model that investigates the intersection of sleep, aging, cardiovascular risk, and Alzheimer’s disease.
