Genetics is the second most important area; solving genetic diseases and preventing conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's would be wonderful.

The big three age-related diseases—cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's—are exacerbated by age, and understanding the biology of aging could lead to breakthroughs in prevention.

Genetic predispositions can influence performance in various fields, but environmental factors also play a crucial role in shaping abilities.

Nanotechnology, particularly DNA manipulation, shows promise in curing diseases and enhancing health.

The future of psychiatric treatment may involve technologies like optogenetics for targeted stimulation of specific brain circuits, and understanding brain activity in psychiatric and neurological diseases will lead to new treatment ideas, as seen with deep brain stimulation helping patients with OCD.

The focus of research should shift from merely treating conditions to understanding and improving metabolic health to prevent mental health disorders.

Alzheimer's disease is often linked to multiple causes, including insulin resistance, environmental toxins, and nutritional deficiencies, requiring a multimodal treatment approach.

My lab works on issues related to regenerating the brain, curing blindness, and addressing stress and anxiety, which stem from my early experiences.

Multidisciplinary research will be crucial in the next decade, combining expertise in areas like AI or machine learning with fields such as biology, chemistry, or mathematics.
