Fields of Interest: 
Genetics

Dr. Broce is a postdoctoral scholar in the Yokoyama Lab at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center and the Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Department at UCSF. Her research combines neuroimaging, genetics and computational methods to discover pathological mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative conditions. Her main research goal is to develop novel genetic and imaging biomarkers that will enhance the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.

In her free time, Iris enjoys traveling, spending time with family, hiking and scuba diving.
