Dr. Aleksic’s research aims to uncover metabolic and endocrine mechanisms underlying healthy aging and longevity. Specifically, her translational research is focused on neuroendocrine regulation of aging and the role of the hypothalamus in human aging. Her team utilizes novel MRI-based methods to assess hypothalamic microstructure in order to elucidate its role in neuroendocrine and metabolic disturbances that underlie unhealthy aging and development of age-related disease.
