Profile:
I was born in Catania (Italy) in 1982. I currently work as a Senior Academic Researcher and Assistant Professor at the University of Catania (Italy). After graduation with honours in Medicine, I trained at the School of Neurology and got the international PhD at the same University. As visiting Clinical Research Fellow, I further trained at the Department of Neuroscience and Clinical Neurophysiology of the Newcastle University (UK). In 2013 I was selected for a Scientific Fellowship promoted by the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS). From 2013 to October 2018, I worked as a Consultant Neurologist at the “Oasi Research Institute–IRCCS” in Troina (Italy), which is a Collaborating Center of the World Health Organization (WHO), and where now I currently hold the position of Chief of the Clinical Neurophysiology Research Unit. From 2015 to October 2018, I taught Neurology at the University of Enna (Italy). I have authored more than 150 publications in internationally-indexed peer-reviewed Journals and Conferences or Meetings, and I currently serve as Editor and invited Reviewer of several international Journals. More recently, I have obtained the Master of Science in Clinical Research and the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor (procedure for the Italian University Professor recruiting, based on criteria of scientific qualification). I would like to become an Editor of this prestigious Journal for a number of reasons. First, given its influential role within the international network related to this topic, the Journal represents an outstanding chance to get connected with other clinicians and researchers from other countries. Second, an Editor is always updated in a wide variety of “hot topics”, including these “cutting edge” subjects, emerging field of research, and innovative therapies. Third, this position may provide the opportunity to advance scientific and academic career. Finally, as part of a dynamic international community, an Editor can reach a globally distributed audience to present research or scientific achievements. In conclusion, given my clinical background and research interests, I would be honoured and delighted to join you as Editorial Board member of this Journal and to contribute to its high scientific and academic level.

Dr. Greer received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from Texas A&M University, USA. Following a postdoctoral study period under NIH funding sponsorship of her F32 award from NIA. Dr. Greer served in faculty positions at Texas A&M University, Indiana University East, North Dakota State University, and currently Prairie View A&M University. Dr. Greer has extensive experience in genetic analyses of multifactorial disorders demonstrated by her discovery of the haplotype for necrotizing meningoencephalitis and the further development of the corresponding genetic test for that invariably fatal disorder. Dr. Greer worked for many years on genetic analysis of inherited multifactorial disorders, most recently she focuses her efforts on canines and aging. She has established and maintained an extensive DNA bank from more than 70 breeds together with detailed clinical data on each contributing dog. These data were utilized to establish the dog as a model of human aging. Dr. Greer published the first demonstration that larger dog breeds have significantly shorter lives than the smallest dog breeds. The experiments carried out in the Greer laboratory analyze plasma levels of IGF-1 across various sizes of animals, across genders, and uniquely, across reproductive status. Additionally, the cellular metabolism of aging is deciphered through detailed analyses of cellular stress levels, mitochondrial activity, and senescence measurements.

Research Interest:
management of agitation in PWD; promoting awareness and understanding of dementia in the Hmong American community and culturally responsive care by health professionals.

Profile:
Linda A. Gerdner served as an ethno geriatric specialist at Stanford Geriatric Education Center. Her career is driven by a deep passion to advance care of persons with dementia (PWD). Her most outstanding contributions are in two areas: 1) management of agitation in PWD, 2) promoting awareness and understanding of dementia in the Hmong American community and culturally responsive care by health professionals.She was the first to develop and test a protocol for individualized music in PWD. She advanced this work by developing and testing the mid-range theory of individualized music intervention for agitation. This seminal study became the impetus for further research in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Sweden, Norway, Japan and Taiwan. She expanded the empirical and clinical evidence with publication of an evidence-based guideline for individualized music in 1997, currently in its 5th edition. She is the author of “Musical Memories,” a illustrated story book to teach the basic concepts of individualized music to children and their family. She conducted the first ethnographic study to explore perception and care of dementia in Hmong elders. Findings provide a foundation for culturally responsive care for this population. She advanced this work with a series of online training modules through Stanford Geriatric Education Center. Her research identified a critical need for culturally responsive teaching materials to promote awareness and understanding of dementia by Hmong Americans. She is the primary author of Grandfather’s Story Cloth, a bilingual children’s picture book. Themes from family caregiver experiences provided a culturally meaningful storyline. This book has received six national and international awards. She is also authored “Demystifying Hmong Shamanism: Practice and Use by Hmong Americans Across the Lifespan,” the result of over 10 years of research and close collaboration with Hmong American shamans and other members of the Hmong American community.
