Dr. Winston Chiong is the Mary Oakley Foundation Professor of Neuroethics in the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, Memory and Aging Center, and Director of UCSF Bioethics. His clinical practice focuses on Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and other cognitive disorders of aging. His research has two main themes: (1) the neural bases of decision-making in the aging brain, focusing on how brain systems underlying decision are influenced by health and disease; and (2) the ethical, policy and health equity implications of alterations to brain function, informed by the experiences of patients with brain diseases and those undergoing new brain-based therapies.
