Biography
Dr. Molly Maloof has dedicated her medical practice to health optimization and personalized medicine since 2011 and has worked with high-achieving entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives in Silicon Valley as well as Academy Award winners in Los Angeles. Since 2012, she has worked as an advisor or consultant to over 55 companies in the digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology industries. She published The Spark Factor, the first book on biohacking for women, with Harper Wave Books. She taught the first course dedicated to longevity and healthspan extension in the Wellness Department of the Medical School at Stanford University for three years before launching her company, Adamo Bioscience. The vision of her company is to demonstrate that love is embodied medicine that enhances longevity and awakens a healthier, happier, and more resilient world where intimacy is the undisputed force for human flourishing. Dr. Maloof is on the frontier of personalized medicine, digital health technologies, biofeedback-assisted lifestyle interventions, psychedelic medicine, and science-backed wellness products and services.

The Hopkins-Oxford Psychedelics Ethics (HOPE) Working Group Consensus Statement American Journal of Bioethics · Jul 1, 2024 Edward Jacobs et al. published a collaborative ethical framework developed in August 2023 at the University of Oxford. It addresses the rapid expansion of psychedelic research, clinical applications, and policy initiatives, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations in these evolving contexts.

Chronic loneliness is itself associated with two of the most pressing public health epidemics currently facing the globe: the rise of mental illness and metabolic health disorders. Here, we highlight the epidemiological associations between loneliness and mental and metabolic health disorders and argue that loneliness contributes to the etiology of these conditions by acting as a chronic stressor that leads to neuroendocrine dysregulation and downstream immunometabolic consequences that manifest in disease. Knife-Edge Scanning Microscopy for Bright-Field Multi-Cubic Centimeter Analysis of Microvasculature Microscopy Today · Jul 1, 2017 Serial section microscopy has proven to be a powerful tool in examining the 3-dimensional (3D) nature of tissue; however, it is limited by the size of tissue samples that can be used and the manual process of acquiring data. The knife-edge scanning microscope (KESM) acquisition and analysis computational system resolves these issues by providing high-resolution light microscopy image data at multi-cubic centimeter scale. Using this system for quantification of microvasculature provides the ability to examine, measure, and compare the 3D nature of vascular networks at whole organ scale and sub-micron resolution. Ubiquitous Augmented Cognition 16th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction · Jun 26, 2014 The paradigm shift in pervasive computing drives human-computer interaction (HCI) toward complex domains, where novel approaches to support human cognition in mobile and dynamic environments are necessary. The field of Augmented Cognition (AugCog) provides a scientifically-grounded approach toward intrinsic human information processing and challenges associated with data-intensive systems, leveraging empirically-based HCI solutions that account for human cognitive limitations. Applying this to ubiquitous computing demands unobtrusive technologies capable of time-dependent user assessment in various environments. Technological advances and utilization of personal activity reporting at a consumer level have made ubiquitous AugCog a necessary implementation. Such technologies (i.e., head-mounted displays) produce a deluge of data, generating a need for experimentally-based metrics, algorithms, and adaptive interfaces for closed-loop, synergistic human-technology performance systems. A Ubiquitous AugCog framework is proposed along with an essential use case to guide the design of multi-modal human performance assessment and optimization tools beyond laboratory settings.
