Learning and memory impairments are frequently identified in people with a range of neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorders. These impairments have a major negative impact on quality of life and therefore it is critical that effective treatments are identified. Current approaches target disease specific mechanisms, but this has resulted in… Read More »Innovative Discovery Series – Systems level mechanisms of memory impairment converge across a range of neurological disease

Cardiometabolic disease remains a leading cause of death, yet many of its behavioral risk factors are shaped not only by what we do but by when we do it. This talk examines how the timing of sleep, eating, and physical activity influences cardiometabolic risk across the lifespan. Drawing on observational, intervention, and experimental work from… Read More »Innovative Discovery Series – Sleep and Circadian Health Approaches to Reducing Cardiometabolic Risk

Retention in HIV medical care is critical for achieving and maintaining viral suppression, improving health outcomes, and reducing transmission risk. For people living with HIV, being "in care" is defined as consistent engagement with healthcare services, including regular clinical visits, laboratory monitoring, and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Despite advances in HIV care and treatment, loss-to-follow-up… Read More »Innovative Discovery Series – Predicting HIV Care Engagement Attrition: Who is at Risk and How Health Systems Shape the Care Journey
