Two UCLA Depression Grand Challenge researchers have been named among the world’s most influential scholars in the sciences and social sciences: Michelle Craske, PhD, DGC co-director and creator of the STAND system of care; and Elaine Hsiao, PhD, director of the UCLA Goodman–Luskin Microbiome Center and an expert on the ways in which the gut microbiome influences neurobiology.

UCLA announced that Cleveland Cavaliers star and former UCLA standout committed $500,000 through his foundation to establish a new Kevin Love Fund Centennial Chair in psychology. Love’s contribution, matched by the Centennial Term Chair Match, will fund research aimed to prevent, diagnose, treat and end the stigma around anxiety and depression.
