Aditii Wakhlu
Former Clinical Research Coordinator @Goldstein Lab - Mass General Hospital
Aditii graduated from Marquette University in May 2023 with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in Neuroscience. While at Marquette University, Aditii worked for two years as an undergraduate research assistant in the Translational Affective Neuroscience Lab, examining skin conductance responses in relation to fear and reward conditioning, and measures of intolerance of uncertainty. During this time, she gained significant experience in the collection and preprocessing of physiological and neuroimaging data. In addition, she worked for two years in Dr. Matthew Hearing’s lab in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and consequently completed her senior thesis studying (using chemogenetics approaches) the role of cortico-striatal subcircuits in a rodent model of cognitive flexibility. Encountering sex differences in the findings of this project, Aditii developed a keen interest in the study of sex differences in brain circuitry.
With an ardent interest in psychiatry and neuroscience, Aditii hopes to pursue a career as a physician-scientist in the future. She is currently a Medical Student
