Dr. Shefali Rai completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Calgary, where she used precision functional MRI to examine individualized brain network organization in both children and adults. Her research focused on advancing neuroimaging methods to better understand neurodevelopment. As a postdoctoral scholar in the BRIDGE Lab and the UCSD Eating Disorders Center, Dr. Rai aims to integrate multimodal metrics (MRI, genetics, behavioral data) to identify neurobiological markers that can inform early detection and precise interventions for youth. Outside of work, you can find Shefali baking, spending time outside with family, and swimming.
