Research Program

research team 2025

Our Research Team's Mission is to integrate neuroimaging with behavioral and cognitive neuroscience and genetics to characterize the brain basis of eating disorders. 

Our diverse team of psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, computational scientists, research associates and trainees are contributing to a better understanding of the neurobiological factors that maintain eating disorder symptoms. We do this by: 

Developing Neurobiologically Informed Interventions for Eating Disorders 

Our research team, in collaboration with our clinical team, is developing and testing behavioral interventions for eating disorders based on an understanding of their neurobiology. This includes the development of Temperament Based Therapy with Support (TBT-S). 

Measuring Treatment Mechanisms and Outcomes 

Our treatment program is committed to providing evidence-based treatment. This includes regular collection of neuropsychological and symptom-related data from patients interested in participating in our treatment-related research. 

Training the Next Generation of Clinical Scientists and Clinicians 

Our program provides a rich training environment for students and fellows interested in developing expertise in neuroimaging, genetics, and the neurobiology of eating disorders.
