Researchers Available to Participate
Sandra Aleksic, MD, MS
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology and Geriatrics)
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center
Areas of Research/Topics to speak about: Dr. Aleksic is a practicing endocrinologist with training in clinical research methods, metabolism, translational gerontology, and neuroimaging. Her work focuses on bridging fundamental discoveries in aging biology from animal models to human studies. Specifically, she investigates whether dysfunction of the hypothalamus—a key regulator of whole-body homeostasis and a critical player in aging in animal models—can accelerate neurocognitive and systemic aging in humans. Additionally, Dr. Aleksic leverages her expertise in endocrinology and aging research to explore the role of age-related hormonal changes in the functional decline associated with aging.

Biren B. Kamdar, MD
Associate Professor of Medicine
University of California, San Diego
Areas of Research/Topics to speak about: I am an intensive care physician with a deep passion for efforts to better understand and improve outcomes in critically ill adult patients. I have a particular focus on older patients, who comprise the fastest growing ICU population and are vulnerable to the worst outcomes including delirium, restraint use, and longer length of stay. My specific interests include delirium, in particular the implementation of interventions in busy ICU settings to optimize detection and prevention practices. Delirium is closely associated with sleep-wake disruption, a common ICU issue that I also focus on, specifically evaluation methods and large-scale improvement interventions. Critical care comprises 1% of the US GDP, and will continue to grow as a vital care destination for older adults. I strive to share novel ideas and collaborate with motivated multidisciplinary teams to explore and implement large-scale, highly-impactful ICU interventions.

Sara LaHue, MD
Assistant Professor of Neurology
University of California, San Francisco
I am an NIA Beeson and Butler-Williams Scholar with expertise leading translational research investigating crosscutting mechanisms of aging to improve the lives of hospitalized older adults. As a board-certified neurologist and UCSF Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurology with advanced training in neurohospitalist medicine, neuroscience, aging biology, and biostatistics, I bring a unique perspective that bridges clinical care and translational research. My clinical role as a neurohospitalist caring for older adults with conditions linked to advanced age, including delirium and dementia, has profoundly shaped my research where I investigate the role of aging mechanisms in these conditions. In addition to my other research contributions in studying systems of care, such as the UCSF-wide delirium care pathway, I serve on the Executive Board of the Neurohospitalist Society where I lead other hospital-based efforts. I am also the Co-I and Director of Education for the Sex and Gender Enriched (SAGE) Neurology R25 (NINDS), as well as an affiliate member of the UCSF Women’s Health Clinical Research Center.
