Principal Investigator

Dr. Bubu is an Associate Professor and Physician Scientist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (NYUGSoM) in the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology and Population Health, with a programmatic research focus on sleep, aging and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Dr. Bubu has clinical and research training in neurology, neuropsychiatry, 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.

As the founding Director of ARISE-DP, Dr. Bubu has forged and led a number of collaborations, both within and outside NYUGSoM, focused on reducing aging and dementia-related health inequities and disparities. His vision for ARISE-DP is to make it an NYUGSoM-wide program that cuts across Psychiatry, Neurology, Population Health, Medicine, and Radiology, with a programmatic research targeting Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) reduction and sleep health disparities in minoritized populations. Dr Bubu is equally committed to creating academic pipeline opportunities that support URM scholars from undergraduate to faculty levels in sleep and neuroscience research
