Dr. Laura Thi Germine's lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine focuses on improving mental health outcomes for individuals with serious mental illnesses. The lab develops innovative cognitive measures that track people's mental processes over time to predict clinical risks and treatment needs more effectively. Their work aims to make mental health care more accessible and culturally appropriate through the use of technology and comprehensive data analysis.

Dr. Rachel A. Ross's lab at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine focuses on understanding the complex relationship between obesity and cognitive function. The research explores how specific brain circuits, particularly those involving melanocortin peptides, influence feeding behavior and body weight regulation. By studying these mechanisms in mice, the lab aims to identify new targets for obesity treatment that can improve both physical health and cognitive abilities.
