Olusola Alade Ajilore, MD, PhD
Dr. Ajilore is the Center for Depression and Resilience Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in biology. Dr. Ajilore did his MD/PhD degree at Stanford University where he studied the negative effects of stress hormones on the brain. He joined the research track residency at UCLA where he transitioned into neuroimaging in major depression. His lab currently uses computational neuroimaging techniques and digital biomarkers to better track and treat neuropsychiatric disorders. Dr. Ajilore also serves as the Associate Head for Faculty Development and the director the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program.
"The Journal is an important venue to highlight innovation and impact for the understanding, treatment, and prevention of mood and anxiety disorders. I hope that the Journal will serve as a credible and reliable source of information for mental health professionals, academics, and the general public, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of mental health."
Erika Wolf, PhD
Dr. Wolf is a Clinical Research Psychologist at the Behavioral Science Division of the National Center for PTSD at VA Boston Healthcare System and a Professor of Psychiatry at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Dr. Wolf’s research focuses on the use of multivariate data analytic techniques, such as confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, latent class analysis, and item response theory, to measure trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and related comorbidity. Her work has focused on the idea that PTSD is associated with accelerated cellular aging, as reflected in DNA methylation and as manifested in physical health and neurocognitive decline. This work involves the study of multiple types of biomarkers, ranging from epi/genetics to metabolites expressed in blood and/or brain tissue, to neural structure and function.
The Journal will advance the scientific study of mood and anxiety disorders by providing an outlet to share rigorous new research and critical reviews of these common and often debilitating conditions. The journal’s breadth of coverage, ranging from basic to clinical research, will be appealing and informative for a multidisciplinary readership. I am eager to see the launch of this new journal and to contribute to its growth.
