Ajit Ray serves as a Special Faculty-Senior Researcher at Carnegie Mellon University's Neuroscience Institute, an interdisciplinary research hub focused on advancing neural computation and systems neuroscience. His primary affiliation centers on investigating molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders through the institute's collaborative framework. Ray's research concentrates on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease pathogenesis with emphasis on redox signaling disruptions and cytoskeletal dynamics. Key investigations include amyloid-β-induced F-actin disassembly in dendritic spines, glutaredoxin-mediated neuroprotection against oxidative damage, and early hippocampal hyperexcitability in amyloidosis models. His work bridges molecular neuroscience with behavioral outcomes using transgenic mouse models, quantitative fluorescence imaging, and electrophysiological approaches to elucidate synaptic dysfunction mechanisms. Analysis of his publication record reveals a cohesive trajectory since 2016 where F-actin pathology serves as a unifying theme across neurodegenerative conditions. His most significant contributions demonstrate glutaredoxin-1's therapeutic potential in restoring cytoskeletal integrity and cognitive function, with recent work expanding into thalamocortical plasticity during sensory learning. This research program consistently connects molecular redox events to circuit-level alterations and behavioral deficits.

Dr. Eric O Mick serves as an Associate Professor at UMass Chan Medical School with multiple appointments across the institution. He holds positions in the T.H. Chan School of Medicine's Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences (Division of Biostatistics And Health Services Research) and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Additionally, he is affiliated with the Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in both the Department of Masters in Clinical Investigation and Department of Population Health Sciences, as well as the UMass Chan Programs, Centers and Institutes Department of Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology. ScD in Epidemiology from Harvard University School of Public Health BA in Psychology from the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA As a psychiatric and genetic epidemiologist, Dr. Mick's research has evolved from genetic studies of behavioral disorders to broader health services research. His early work focused on identifying genetic susceptibility to disruptive behavior and mood disorders in children, adolescents and adults through genome-wide association studies of ADHD, pediatric bipolar disorder, cognition, and emotional self-regulation. More recently, his research has shifted toward understanding how behavioral phenotypes and their associated genetic factors influence cardiovascular disease incidence, while expanding into Medicaid policy analysis and primary care for complex patients. Dr. Mick's publication record shows a significant transition from primarily psychiatric genetics research to health services and policy research. His recent publications (2021-2025) predominantly address Medicaid policy, payment models for complex patients, healthcare utilization patterns, and health equity issues. This represents a notable evolution from his earlier work (2002-2015) which centered on ADHD genetics, bipolar disorder, and psychiatric epidemiology. His research demonstrates increasing engagement with real-world healthcare systems and policy implications. Dr. Mick has collaborated extensively with colleagues including Ash AS, Alcusky MJ, Sabatino MJ, and others on numerous studies examining healthcare delivery systems, particularly within Medicaid. His work addresses critical issues in healthcare payment reform, risk adjustment methodologies, and ensuring equitable care for medically and socially complex populations. Through these collaborations, he has contributed significantly to understanding how healthcare systems can better serve vulnerable patient populations.
