Elvisha Dhamala, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research where she directs the Brain-Based Predictive Modeling Lab.
Her research program aims to characterize the neural bases of human behavior throughout development. She is particularly interested in understanding how various aspects of brain structure, brain function, behavior, and brain-behavior relationships differ across sexes and genders, and whether these differences shape psychiatric risk and illness.
She earned her BSc in Neuroscience in 2017 from McGill University, and her PhD in Neuroscience from Weill Cornell Medicine in 2021 in the Computational Connectomics Lab. She then completed postdoctoral training in the Holmes Lab at Yale University as the inaugural Kavli Institute for Neuroscience Postdoctoral Fellowship for Academic Diversity.
