A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, has uncovered evidence of far-reaching ecosystem consequences following the disappearance of Great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) from False Bay, South Africa. The research, conducted by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science, spans over two decades and documents cascading ecological disruptions, underscoring the crucial role apex predators play in maintaining ocean health.

In a Genomic Press Interview, Dr. Consuelo Walss-Bass, a leading psychiatric geneticist, explores how genetic and environmental factors shape mental health disorders like schizophrenia. Motivated by her family’s experience with the illness, she has pioneered research that integrates genomics, proteomics, and clinical studies to uncover the biological mechanisms behind psychiatric conditions. As the founder of the UTHealth Houston Brain Collection for Research in Psychiatric Disorders, she is advancing personalized medicine in psychiatry. Dr. Walss-Bass also champions leadership development in science, mentoring the next generation of researchers. Her work aims to destigmatize mental illness by highlighting its biological foundations and improving patient care.
