ABOUT ME:

I am a ‘Population Neuroscience of Aging’ T32 Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Pittsburgh in the College of Public Health. with Dr. Janet Catov. I previously trained as a postdoctoral scholar under the mentorship of Dr. David Almeida at Penn State University and completed my PhD at the University of Kentucky under the mentorship of Drs. Suzanne Segerstrom and Kate Leger.

My program of research investigates how and why psychosocial processes accelerate biological aging in midlife, when risk factors may still be modifiable. Currently, my work examines how psychological stress impacts accelerated biological aging, as well as cardiovascular and neurobiological factors that buffer, exacerbate, or explain this effect. In future, I hope to identify critical points in the lifespan for accelerated aging, establish midlife as a sensitive period in adult development, and characterize modifiable, health protective factors that can be targeted by future psychosocial anti-aging interventions.

I invite you to take a look at my publications, my CV, or my OSF pre-registrations for a better idea of my current projects and interests. Feel free to get in touch with me to discuss potential collaborations or employment opportunities: elana.gloger@pitt.edu
