Overview

Paul Maruff is affiliated with the University of Melbourne in Australia and has a research focus primarily in Medicine, with extensive work in Psychiatry and Mental Health, Physiology, and Cognitive Neuroscience. Their research spans topics related to dementia and cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, health and environmental factors affecting cognitive aging, functional brain connectivity studies, nutritional studies and diet, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, and frailty in older adults.

They have published numerous papers across several scientific venues. Frequently publishing in Alzheimer's & Dementia, they also have publications in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, and Alzheimer's & Dementia Diagnosis Assessment & Disease Monitoring.

Notable recent papers include:

  • MRI signatures of brain age and disease over the lifespan based on a deep brain network and 14,468 individuals worldwide, 2020, Brain
  • Risk prediction of late-onset Alzheimer's disease implies an oligogenic architecture, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Plasma Aβ42/40 ratio, p-tau181, GFAP, and NfL across the Alzheimer's disease continuum: A cross-sectional and longitudinal study in the AIBL cohort, 2022, Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • The Brain Chart of Aging: Machine-learning analytics reveals links between brain aging, white matter disease, amyloid burden, and cognition in the iSTAGING consortium of 10,216 harmonized MR scans, 2020, Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • Fifteen Years of the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle (AIBL) Study: Progress and Observations from 2,359 Older Adults Spanning the Spectrum from Cognitive Normality to Alzheimer's Disease, 2021, Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports

Maruff frequently collaborates with a cohort of researchers in their field. These include Colin L. Masters, Yen Ying Lim, Jürgen Fripp, Christopher C. Rowe, and Ralph N. Martins.

Their research covers multiple subfields, including psychiatry and mental health, physiology, cognitive neuroscience, health toxicology and mutagenesis, and experimental and cognitive psychology. The main topics of their work reflect a focus on various aspects of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive aging, brain connectivity, nutrition, and the biological mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
