Research summary
AI-generated

Dustin B. Hammers studies how memory and thinking abilities change in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, with a particular focus on early-onset forms that appear before typical age. Much of the work involves developing and testing cognitive assessment tools, including digital and tablet-based tests, and comparing brain imaging and clinical features across large patient groups. The research also explores how to detect cognitive decline earlier in everyday primary care settings.

Publication activity grew substantially over the decade, rising from a handful of papers per year in the late 2010s to a peak of roughly 47 in 2023 and remaining high (around 26-28 per year) through 2024-2025.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
