Dr. Hamilton Se-Hwee Oh at Mount Sinai in New York pioneers research linking differential organ aging to depression and Alzheimer's disease. His Stanford PhD work yielded breakthrough Nature publications showing organs age at different rates. Now investigating how psychological stress accelerates aging and how peripheral signals rewire brain circuits affecting mood and cognition.

Frontiers today announces the launch of a new interview series ‘Empowering proteomics and transcriptomics in Alzheimer’s drug discovery’. The series is hosted by Dr Ornit Chiba-Falek, Specialty Chief Editor of Frontiers in Molecular Medicine and Division Chief of Translational Brain Sciences in the Department of Neurology at Duke University, and Dr Ara Khachaturian, Executive Vice President of the Campaign to Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease.

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume — a breakthrough with significant implications for how scientists understand and interpret functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
