Marina Ritchie
Congratulations to UC Irvine Neurobiology and Behavior graduate student, Marina Ritchie for receiving the award for Best Virtual Student Poster in the theme of Drug Development at this year’s Alzheimer’s Association International Conference #AAIC2021! Her poster, on “Estimating attrition in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment clinical trials,” excellently conveyed her research to the judges and attendees at the esteemed conference earlier this year.
As a 3rd year graduate student in the labs of Drs. Josh Grill and Daniel Gillen, Marina’s research focuses on identifying means to improve recruitment, retention and overall study design in Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) research including clinical trials. She holds a master’s degree in Psychology from Boston University. Aside from research, she also serves as a co-chair for UCI MIND’s Research and Education in Memory Impairments in Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, or REMIND.
