Elizabeth Sharp
Former Senior Clinical Research Coordinator @Goldstein Lab - Mass General Hospital
Elizabeth graduated from Cornell University in 2020 with a BA in Psychology and concentration in behavioral and environmental neuroscience. Broadly, she is interested in using neuroimaging to research how psychopathology and stress impact memory and to discover novel biomarkers and treatments.
While at Cornell, she worked as an undergraduate research assistant in the Affect and Cognition Laboratory on an imaging study focusing on cognitive aging, cardiovascular factors, and the locus coeruleus. She was also previously a staff Research Assistant at Brown University, working on several longitudinal investigations into cognitive aging using multimodal imaging techniques. While at Brown, she engaged in a research project entitled “Associations between cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light (NfL) protein and cortical atrophy across the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum”.
Elizabeth worked on our Aging study, a project studying subjects in a longitudinal cohort with the goal of assessing how factors such as sex, prenatal immune stress, and depression impact cognition and the development of Alzheimer’s disease in the aging brain.
Elizabeth is currently a PhD student in the University of Wisconsin.
