She has also assisted on an aging and memory study that aimed to develop a clinical risk algorithm for early detection of individuals at risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
After the CNL-SD, Christina moved on to a role of Clinical Research Assistant at McLean Hospital within the Center for Depression, Anxiety and Stress Research. She then relocated to Illinois, working as a clinical research Associate in the Industry.
