Lucinda Sisk

Lucinda is currently a doctoral student at Yale. After graduating from Whitman College with a B.A. in Biology, she spent 3 years as a research assistant and lab manager in the SNAP lab. During her time at the SNAP lab, she worked on projects investigating how stress during early life affects the developing brain in both infants and adolescents, and how such neurobiological changes may in turn be related to the onset of psychopathology. Lucinda’s current research focuses on how traumatic events may affect brain structure and function, and how individual differences may contribute to a person’s vulnerability to or resilience from adversity. She is also interested in the flexibility of structural and functional networks in the brain, and how they change in response to behavioral changes and interventions.
