Who Am I?

Dr. Jamadar completed her doctoral studies at the University of Newcastle, Australia in early 2010. Her thesis examined the spatial and temporal indices of cognitive control using the task-switching paradigm. She joined the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in June 2010. Under Dr. Godfrey Pearlson's mentorship, she is currently researching genetic influences on the structure and function of the brain in both healthy individuals and individuals with schizophrenia.
