Join us on October 31, 2025 for our next Meet the PI lecture featuring the work of Howard Aizenstein, MD, PhD.
Dr. Aizenstein is the Charles F. Reynolds III and Ellen G. Detlefsen Endowed Chair in Geriatric Psychiatry and Professor of Psychiatry, Bioengineering and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. An internationally recognized expert in the cognitive and affective neuroscience of aging, he has made critical contributions to the field of geriatric psychiatry. His research has substantially increased our understanding of the brain mechanisms associated with geriatric depression, and improved prevention and treatment strategies. Early in his career, Dr. Aizenstein defined some of the important questions regarding the interaction between depression and dementia. He then used his training in computational science to identify the neural pathways involved in implicit and explicit learning using both structural and functional magnetic resource imaging. Dr. Aizenstein developed new methods for neuroimaging analyses that have been used by other collaborators, and which continue to advance the field of neuroimaging research in geriatric psychiatry.
