Gilmore-Bykovskyi Lab

Promoting effective, meaningful, and equitable care and research for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

About Our Lab

Our interdisciplinary team is committed to promoting effective, meaningful, and equitable care and research for those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, also referred to as ADRD. We advance this mission by investigating care, utilization, and research disparities for people living with and at risk for ADRD and their caregivers.

Our lab is housed in the BerbeeWalsh Department of Emergency Medicine within the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.  

Our Work…

Is grounded in core values of the nursing discipline to maintain, protect, and promote human dignity, health and abilities, and social justice.

Our team is composed of individuals with different perspectives, skills, and experiences who have come together to focus on this common goal in partnership with community stakeholders, people living with dementia, and family caregivers. We value the incredible contributions of research participants, community partners, and academic collaborators working with us to transform the landscape of dementia care and research.

Statement on Social Impact & Belonging

Social impact and belonging are central to the missions of UW Health and the UW School of Medicine and Public Health in meeting the health needs of the people of Wisconsin and beyond through excellence in education, research, patient care, and service.

We are actively working to create a culture of belonging so all team members feel valued and respected, ensure patients have access to remarkable health care that is respectful of each individual’s experience and needs, and improve health outcomes for all of our communities through social impact. To this end, our research efforts endeavor to identify and address social and structural drivers of inequities in health care.
