Dr. Beau Ances is the Daniel J. Brennan MD Professor and Vice Chair of Academic Affairs for the Department of Neurology at Washington University in Saint Louis. An eminent researcher and clinician, Dr. Ances has authored over 380 peer-reviewed publications, with his work being widely recognized and cited by major media outlets such as The Washington Post, Associated Press, Science, Time, and various PBS documentaries, including "Alzheimer’s Disease: Every Minute Counts."
Clinically, Dr. Ances provides comprehensive care to both inpatients and outpatients, specializing in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly focusing on individuals with HIV who experience cognitive impairment. His groundbreaking research was the first to differentiate the effects of HIV from those of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with HIV and has made significant strides in identifying markers of healthy brain aging in this population.
Dr. Ances is an influential figure in shaping clinical guidelines and has served on the recommendation committee for new diagnostic criteria for HIV-associated cognitive impairment. He has also chaired several workshops for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) addressing the diverse manifestations of cognitive impairment in persons with HIV. Consistently supported by NIH funding since 2008, Dr. Ances is the site Principal Investigator for the National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium (NNTC), a critical resource that studies individuals with HIV before and after death, providing valuable tissue samples to the research community at large
