The role of inflammation in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders has been a main focus of his work.[3] Contributions include "Inflammation and Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis" in Neurobiology of Aging,[4] "Inflammation, Anti-inflammatory Agents, and Alzheimer’s Disease: The Last 22 Years" co-authored with Pat McGeer and Edith McGeer,[5] and as an editor of scholarly publications.[6]

Other professional activities[edit]

Rogers founded Sun Health Research Institute in 1986 near Phoenix, AZ,[7] and served as its President and Senior Scientist until Banner Health's acquisition of the institute in 2008.[8] He later served as Executive Director of Health Sciences in SRI International's Biosciences Division from 2012 to 2020.[7][9]
