Core Lead
Dr. Hussein Yassine, professor at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, holds the Kenneth and Bette Volk Endowed Chair of Neurology. Dr. Yassine’s lab works on understanding how changes in brain lipid metabolism predispose individuals to develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology with a focus on how APOE affects brain lipid metabolism. Yassine is also the Director of the Center for Personalized Brain Health (CPBH), dedicated to patients carrying the APOE4 allele. The CPBH represents a crucial translational bridge between basic and clinical neuroscience that focuses on understanding and mitigating the adverse effects of APOE4 on brain health. Dr. Yassine collaborates with experts across multiple fields to drive progress in early detection and treatment strategies, contributing significantly to our collective mission to address Alzheimer’s disease.
