Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center
2026 Symposium Is Scheduled for March 24
| | | | The Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center (KKARC) in the BHI will host its 2026 Symposium on March 24, 2026, at the Busch Student Center Multipurpose Room A, 604 Bartholomew Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854. The one-day symposium will feature keynote speaker Sudha Seshadri, MD, DM, Robert R. Barker Distinguished University Professor and Founding Director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s & Neurodegenerative Diseases at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The registration has been extended until March 10. View the symposium agenda and register now. | | Brain Health Insights for You (BHI for You) | | Neurotrophic Factors Explained – Keynote Speaker, Dr. Moses V. Chao | | | | How can brain cells survive for decades while adapting to new experiences, stress, and injury? Neurotrophic factors, naturally occurring proteins that support nerve cell survival, connections, and function, play a key role. In his December 2025 keynote at the BHI Symposium, Dr. Moses V. Chao, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, explained what researchers know about these signals and why understanding their timing and delivery is critical for developing safe, effective therapies for conditions like Alzheimer’s, depression, and chronic pain. Learn more | | Prenatal Extracellular Vesicles and Autism Risk – Dr. Morgan Firestein | | | | Public interest in potential causes of autism is high, but research shows there is no single answer. Autism reflects a complex interaction of genetics, biology, and environment across early development. At Rutgers, Dr. Morgan Firestein, BHI core member, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the PopQuIS Division at RWJMS, and Resident Scientist at the Child Health Institute of New Jersey, is investigating a less-studied prenatal signaling system—extracellular vesicles—that may help explain why certain prenatal conditions increase neurodevelopmental risk while many children remain resilient. Learn more | | How Federal Research Funding Is Changing – Lewis Burke Associates | | | | Federal support drives medical discovery, clinical trials, and training the next generation of scientists, but the landscape is shifting. At the BHI Symposium, policy experts from Lewis Burke Associates described a more competitive, dynamic funding environment with tighter budgets and evolving priorities. Their message was clear: strong science aligned with national priorities can still thrive, but researchers must adapt, build diverse partnerships, and stay informed to move discoveries from the lab to the clinic and community impact.

Executive Vice President Keena Arbuthnot
Visits BHI
| | BHI was delighted to host Dr. Keena Arbuthnot, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer, during her recent visit to the Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research (CAHBIR) on Busch campus in Piscataway. Dr. Arbuthnot was warmly welcomed by Dr. Gary Aston-Jones, Director of BHI, with center directors from across the institute in attendance. The session opened with an informative presentation by Dr. Aston-Jones, offering an overview of BHI's mission, structure, and strategic priorities. The five BHI center directors then described their respective centers contribution to advancing brain health across neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, mental health, addiction, and related fields. They highlighted each centers groundbreaking research and clinical programs, collaborative multidisciplinary projects, commitment to training the next generation of neuroscientists, and partnerships with the community beyond Rutgers. | | Dr. Arbuthnot was impressed by the collaborative research community that BHI has developed at Rutgers. She recognized the innovative, interdisciplinary nature of our work and the strength of Rutgers' neuroscience research enterprise. She engaged thoughtfully with the group, expressing keen interest in BHI's core strengths as well as the barriers we face in scaling our efforts. She encouraged BHI leadership to look for opportunities to further diversify funding sources, including through expanded private and philanthropic partnerships to complement existing resources. | | The visit concluded with a guided tour of the CAHBIR core facilities, led by Director Dr. David Zald, Technical Director Dr. Jeffrey Luci, and Dr. Andrew Westbrook (who oversees the TMS and EEG facilities). Dr. Arbuthnot explored CAHBIR's cutting-edge neuroimaging, neurorecording, and neuromodulation capabilities, including the 3 Tesla Prisma MRI scanner, EEG, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) equipment. | | We are grateful for Dr. Arbuthnot's time, enthusiasm, and support of BHI. The visit reinforced the strong alignment of BHI’s vision and mission with those of the Rutgers academic leadership and opened promising avenues for collaboration to help overcome challenges while amplifying our research strengths and impact. | | |

Dr. Devi explained how disrupted routines, reduced natural light, and holiday indulgences can “throw off the brain’s master clock” and impact key chemicals that regulate mood and motivation. Learn more | | Welcome, Dr. Amanda Neisch | | | | |
Dr. Amanda Neisch joined Rutgers University–Newark in Fall 2025 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and a member of BHI. The Neisch Lab focuses on the cell biology of neural circuits, examining how cellular cargoes are transported to the right location at the right time to maintain circuit function. Impairments in intracellular transport can disrupt synaptic function and are linked to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Perry syndrome. The current focus is on a highly conserved, multi-protein complex, called STRIPAK, and its role in the regulation of neuronal function.
