Dr. Sandra Aleksic is an Assistant Professor in Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Geriatrics. She earned her medical degree from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Medicine in Serbia. She completed residency in internal medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and fellowship in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods through Einstein’s Clinical Research Training Program. She is the recipient of a Career Development Award from the Einstein/Montefiore Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Resnick Emerging Scholar in Aging Research Award and Paul B.

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.
