Professor of Neurology, Medicine, and Physiology & Neuroscience
Dr. Hussein Yassine, Volk Endowed Professor of Neurology at USC, leads research at the intersection of neurology and nutritional science, investigating how lipids—especially omega-3 fatty acids—influence cognition and Alzheimer’s risk, particularly in people carrying the APOE ε4 gene variant. His lab studies how APOE ε4 shapes lipid metabolism, neuroinflammation, and dietary responses through basic science, brain imaging, and clinical trials. Dr. Yassine directs the USC Center for Personalized Brain Health, a multidisciplinary initiative focused on early detection and intervention for individuals at elevated dementia risk.
