Dr. Troncoso's research interests include the neuropathology of normal aging and its intersection with neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, he has conducted neuropathology autopsies for the JHU Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging since the 1980s. The approach of Dr. Troncoso and his laboratory is to conduct morphological studies relevant to the pathobiology of aging and age-associated dementias and movement disorders, and concurrently to collaborate with studies of genetics, molecular biology, and proteomics of these disorders. Dr. Troncoso and his collaborators have been leaders in the application of unbiased stereology to the investigation of neurodegenerations and normal aging. The research activity of Dr. Troncoso is reflected in more than 400 peer-reviewed publications.
