Amy Kuceyeski
Professor, Department of Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine
For over a decade, Amy has been interested in understanding how the human brain works in order to better diagnose, prognose and treat neurological disease and injury. Quantitative approaches, including machine learning, applied to data from rapidly evolving neuroimaging techniques, have the potential to enable ground-breaking discoveries about how the brain works. Amy has particular interest in non-invasive brain stimulation and pharmacological interventions, like psychedelics, that may be used to modulate brain activity and promote recovery from disease or injury.
Amy is a co-director of the AI core for the Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative, an institute spanning several top academic centers that is poised to shed light on the mystery that is the female brain. The initiative focuses on understanding how the brain is changed by puberty, menstruation, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, motherhood, menopause and aging/dementia.
