Harvard Catalyst Profiles

The Lizano Lab provides a fully translational opportunity for students to engage in clinical and/or basic neuroscience research. These areas focus on brain network connectivity and microvascular dysfunction. We perform neuroimaging research (MRI, EEG), cognitive testing, and interventions (non-invasive brain stimulation using transcranial electrical stimulation). We also developed in vitro models to study microvascular dysfunction, specifically related to blood brain barrier dysfunction. Ultimately, we are focused on personalizing or stratifying our understanding and treatment of patients with psychosis spectrum disorders to more rapidly translates findings to those patients that need it the most. The student will perform data collection, cleaning and analysis. The student will perform a literature review of the topic and prepare an abstract or manuscript based on their findings. The student is expected to spend time in the lab, work collaboratively with our team and be generally curious about neuroscience. The student may or may not have image processing, statistics background and some R programming software experience. Students of all levels are welcome. I am generally available most days of the week to meet with students to answer any questions and discuss project updates. The project PI is generally available most days of the week to meet with students to answer any questions and discuss project updates.
