Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not dangerous. Timing and formulation are critical components of benefit vs. harm. I’m glad to see the FDA warnings removed from HRT. Thanks @bloomberg.com for covering this important topic: www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

Can biology, lifestyle & technology redefine ageing? At @mountsinainyc.bsky.social, a multidisciplinary team, led by Miriam Merad, Zahi Fayad and Fanny Elahi, is working to understand and intervene in biological processes that drive ageing. @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d42...

Such a pleasure to speak with @beingpatient.bsky.social about Alzheimer’s Disease risk in women 🧠 Hint: it may in large part hinge on vascular health! beingpatient.com/why-women-fa...

Inside the Lab Studying Why Women Face Greater Alzheimer’s Risk | Being Patient

Women face a greater risk for Alzheimer’s than men. Dr. Fanny Elahi is exploring factors from menopause to vascular health to understand why.

🧠 Women are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Many factors may contribute. Our lab is focused on understanding contributions from vasculature! www.science.org/stoken/autho... (1/7)

Really enjoyed Julie @siegenthalerlab.bsky.social ‘s talk! Beautiful work and fantastic delivery. She’s also an awesome person!

We are looking for computational scientists with experience using multi-omics data. Neuroscience experience is a plus but not required. All levels welcome to apply. DM me if interested! #VCID #EndDementia @sinaibrain.bsky.social

Thanks to FOX24News for having me on to spotlight #CADASIL. I hope this gives insight into this disease and highlights why we believe targeting blood vessels is key to developing effective treatments #VCID #EndDementia. More info below 👇 www.elahilab.com/

Elahi Lab

The Elahi Lab at Mount Sinai aims to understand vascular contributions to neurodegenerative diseases and to create new therapies that protect brain function.
