Tricia Thornton-Wells' profile
What I do
My primary research interest is using imaging genetics to investigate the genetic and neural bases of cognitive and affective disorders, particularly those with a neurodevelopmental component. During my graduate training in neuroscience and biomedical informatics, I focused on statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology, as well as on computational methodologies for detecting heterogeneity and gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. I have used my postdoctoral training to acquire expertise in the design and statistical analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in neurodevelopmental disorders.
I am seeking a tenure-track faculty position in an exceptional research environment at an academic medical center with strong departments or programs in human genetics, neuroscience and neuroimaging and with a demonstrated commitment to research in psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.
