Dr. Jeremy Grant is a clinical neuropsychologist whose mission is to help people promote late-life cognitive health and reduce their risk of dementia.
As the director of the Cognitive Health in Late Life (CHILL) Lab, his program of research has three interwoven domains:
(1) Early detection of cognitive decline: Helping people understand their risk for dementia by conducting cognitive screenings in community settings.
(2) Primary prevention of cognitive decline: Helping people at risk for dementia due to cardiometabolic disease (obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes) reduce their risk through lifestyle interventions (such as improving physical activity, diet, and sleep quality).
(3) Secondary prevention of cognitive decline: Helping people at heightened risk for dementia due to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compensate for memory loss via cognitive rehabilitation and lifestyle interventions.
Dr. Grant’s long-term goal is to develop scalable, culturally responsive, community-based interventions that can effectively promote brain health and mitigate late-life cognitive decline in populations at greatest risk for dementia. His work has been funded by the Alzheimer's Association, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Health Enhancement Scientific Program, the Florida Department of Health Ed & Ethel Moore Alzheimer's Disease Research program, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Research Foundation.
Dr. Grant is currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at The Ohio State University. He completed a bachelor’s degree in biology at Andrews University in 2013, where he was introduced to psychological research while working as a research assistant with Dr. Karl Bailey in the Andrews University Cognitive Psychology Laboratory. He then completed a master’s degree in neuroscience from Carleton University in 2016 under the supervision of Dr. Amedeo D'Angiulli as a member of the Neuroscience of Imagination Cognition and Emotion Research (NICER) Lab. He obtained a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 2019 and subsequently a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Wayne State University in 2022, under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Rapport in the Neuropsychology and Assessment Lab (NeuraL). During his time at Wayne State, he completed clinical training in psychological assessment, neuropsychological assessment, and psychotherapy at the Wayne State University Psychology Clinic, Corewell Health (formerly Beaumont Hospital), and the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan. He subsequently completed a predoctoral internship in clinical psychology in 2022 and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology in 2024, both in the Department of Clinical & Health Psychology and the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases at the University of Florida, co-supervised by Dr. Glenn Smith and Dr. Shellie-Anne Levy. Dr. Grant joined the faculty at Ohio State as an instructor in 2024 and transitioned to assistant professor in 2026.
