Dr. Kales is the creator of the “DICE Approach” to manage the behavioral and functional symptoms of dementia and the “WeCareAdvisor,” a web-based tool for dementia caregivers. She has over 125 peer-reviewed publications and has been continuously federally research funded since 2004. Dr. Kales is also a tireless mentor who is currently mentoring four junior investigators with career development funding in dementia.
