Dr. Vaibhav Janve is a postdoctoral fellow at Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimers Center (VMAC) under the mentorship of Dr. Timothy Hohman. He earned his integrated masters in physics from Indian Institute of technology, Kharagpur, India. Following which he completed his Ph.D. in physics at Vanderbilt University where he investigated sensitivity and specificity of two quantitative MRI methods qMT and DTI to demyelination in animal model of multiple sclerosis, for which he also developed a pipeline integrating light microscopy with MRI for quantitative histological validation. During his postdoctoral training with Dr. Adam Anderson in biomedical engineering department, Vanderbilt University. He extended this work to investigate biological basis of diffusion MRI and tractography validation in non-human primates with submicron 3D confocal microscopy. At VMAC his work with the Computational Neurogenomics Team focuses on computational approaches identifying genetic determinants that confer resilience to Alzheimer’s disease using gene network and genome wide association (GWAS) analyses.

Paige Crepezzi is a Research Nurse Specialist III at the Vanderbilt Memory & Alzheimer's Center. In her role as Research Nurse Specialist, she manages all the day to day aspects of the Vanderbilt Memory & Aging Project and the Tennessee Alzheimer's Project. She obtained her bachelor's degree in nursing at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee.  Upon graduation she completed the nurse residency program at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and accepted a position on the ACE unit, a unit specializing in care of those 65+. 

Prior to her transfer over to the Memory & Alzheimer's Center, Paige completed a research project centered around rapid responses and early intervention giving her the title of RN 4.

Throughout her nursing career, Paige has been involved with the Alzheimer's community in a variety of ways. She worked on a memory care unit as a nurse aide, on a geriatric unit specializing in memory care as a registered nurse, as a personal caregiver for an individual with Alzheimer's, and through her participation in the Alzheimer's Walk.  She is passionate about the aging population and the work she does through the Memory and Aging Project. 

Dr. Derek Archer is a neuroscientist and an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. His research interests focus on the intersection of neuroimaging and computational genetics, with the goal of identifying which genetic biomarkers are associated with neurodegenerative disease. He is specifically interested in what genetic susceptibility exists towards white matter neurodegeneration in aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Dr. Archer is a co-investigator with the Vanderbilt Memory and Aging Project and the Vanderbilt Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. He completed his doctoral degree in biobehavioral science at the University of Florida in 2016 and was funded by a Parkinson's Foundation postdoctoral fellowship until 2019. In 2019, Dr. Archer joined the VUMC faculty. In 2021, he received a Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging, which focuses on genetic risk towards white matter neurodegeneration in the medial temporal lobe tracts. Over the last two years, he has been working to harmonize multi-site MRI data to facilitate large-scale imaging genetic studies.
