Maria Luisa Gorno Tempini
Charles Schwab Distinguished Professor
Dyslexia and Neurodevelopment, University of California San Francisco
Groundbreaking research on dyslexia, brain development, and aging.
Prof. Gorno-Tempini discusses her research and her innovative approach to tracking patients throughout their entire lifespan. She explains how early brain development influences aging and disease response, which inspired her to co-found and co-direct the first dyslexia center within an aging center. She shares insights on the significance of changing environments and her 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' dilemma, a common experience for many expats. She talks about her international collaborations, such as studying how Italian speakers are affected by brain disorders compared to English or Chinese speakers.
