Understanding the beauty and complexity of the aging brain.
The Translational Aging Neurogenetics Laboratory (tangl) decodes the molecular logic of the aging brain. tangl is an AI-native research group designed to connect human genetics, cognitive assessment, and perturbable models to uncover what it means for the brain to be resilient.

About Dr. Anil
Anil Wadhwani, MD, PhD
In the clinic, in the lab.
Dr. Anil is a neurologist and physician-scientist focused on healthy brain aging, Alzheimer’s disease, rare and genetic dementias, and cognitive resilience.
In the clinic, he helps patients and families make sense of memory changes, atypical symptoms, genetic risk, biomarkers, and emerging treatment options. In the lab, he studies why some brains remain resilient while others become vulnerable to neurodegeneration and dementia.
He is a graduate of the Medical Scientist Training Program at Northwestern University, and completed his residency in Neurology and postdoctoral training in Behavioral Neurology from the University of Pennsylvania.
tangl is housed within the Center for Human Genetics and Genomics and the Department of Neurology at NYU Langone Health.
