Dr. Serggio Lanata is a neurologist who cares for patients with cognitive impairment.
Lanata's research focuses on improving treatment for Alzheimer's disease in underserved and underrepresented communities.

The goal is to identify risks factors that lead to cognitive decline.
After completing a biological sciences program at the Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima, Peru, Lanata earned his bachelor's degree in food science and human nutrition at the University of Florida. He then earned a master's degree in physiology, complementary and alternative medicine at Georgetown University before earning his medical degree from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.
