Terrie E Moffitt's lab at Duke University focuses on understanding biological aging through a novel measurement tool called DunedinPoAm4x. By analyzing blood samples and studying numerous physiological biomarkers over decades, the lab aims to pinpoint how quickly individuals age biologically compared to their chronological age. Their research seeks to improve aging assessments and explore how lifestyle changes and genetic factors can influence the pace of aging.

Dr. Jennifer Groh's lab at Duke University studies how the brain processes and preserves information from multiple sensory stimuli, focusing on auditory processing. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms that help our brain select and remember important information despite sensory overload. This work has implications for understanding communication difficulties in conditions like attention deficit disorder and age-related hearing loss.

Dr. Ahmad R. Hariri's lab at Duke University focuses on understanding how individual differences in brain structure during midlife relate to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. By utilizing imaging techniques and tracking health data from participants over decades, the research aims to identify biomarkers that could inform early interventions. This work not only addresses a growing public health concern but also seeks to improve strategies for preventing cognitive decline before it becomes clinically apparent.
