EpidemiologyBiostatistics
Dr. Hall is a biostatistician recognized for leading important long-term studies of aging and dementia. His research has shown, for example, that brain-stimulating activities delay the onset of dementia. He is the longtime director of the statistical core of the Einstein Aging Study, one of the longest-running prospective studies of aging in the country. He is also the lead statistician for the data coordinating center of the federally funded World Trade Center (WTC) Medical Monitoring & Treatment Program, which provides free health monitoring and treatment for workers and volunteers involved in the rescue, recovery and clean-up activities at the WTC site in New York City. read more...

Dr. Joe Verghese is a board-certified neurologist and expert on aging who assesses how diseases and aging affect cognitive ability and mobility in older adults. Among his current projects, he is evaluating the effectiveness of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique intended to alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and improve brain function. He is also conducting studies across the world to identify the causes of cognitive impairment and risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. read more...
