Welcoming Dr. Meredith Phillips to the eBRAIN team!

Welcome Dr. Meredith Phillips

Join us in welcoming Meredith Phillips, PhD to our team! Meredith will be a Postdoc for our T32 Training Grant.

I earned my PhD in Epidemiology from Indiana University-Bloomington. My research interests include exploring how social and life history risk factors influence cognitive and brain aging, with a particular interest in reproductive life history. I have had the privilege of working with data from a wide range of diverse study populations, ranging from rural South Africa to the United States. I have additional experience in clinical research in neurology and psychiatry, human biology and anatomy, and anthropology. When I am not pursuing science, I like to spend time outside with my kids camping and exploring. Indoors, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, and baking.
