Neurology in the Media

Several Einstein faculty members and their research are featured in a National Geographic cover story on the potential genetic roots of longevity.  Harry Ostrer, M.D., Roee Holtzer, Ph.D., and Nir Barzilai, M.D., are quoted, providing insight into the some likely genetic factors of healthy aging and the varied physiological and behavioral outcomes of these factors. Ongoing epigenetic investigations by Francine Einstein, M.D. and John Greally, M.B.B.Ch, Ph.D., are also highlighted, as is Dr. Holtzer’s collaborator Joe Verghese, M.B.B.S. (Thursday, Apr 18, 2013)

Bloomberg features new research by Richard Lipton, M.D., and Mindy Katz, M.P.H., finding early memory loss doubles the risk of dying. Ms. Katz notes the importance of detecting early Alzheimer’s symptoms since it may help reduce the risks of illness that lead to premature death. Dr. Lipton is professor and vice chair of the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology at Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center and director of the Einstein Aging Study. Ms. Katz is senior associate in the Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology at Einstein and Montefiore. (Tuesday, Jul 17, 2012)
