Alejandra Camacho-Soto, M.D., M.P.H.S. is an Assistant Professor of Neurology and a board-certified physiatrist, with a focus in neurorehabilitation in older adults, at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She has a subspecialty board certification in Brain Injury Medicine. She was awarded the Rehabilitation Medicine Scientist Training Program NIH K12 research fellowship geared for physiatrists in 2015. Through this award, she explored the risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in patients with prodromal PD and compared the risk to population-based controls using Medicare claims data. She assisted with and was a co-author on the development of a predictive model to identify people with PD prior to disease onset. She was also the first author on another study examining the risk of inflammatory bowel disease and PD, and a coauthor on three other recently published manuscripts.
