Kelly Glavin

Kelly graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2017 with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Psychology and minors in Creative Writing and Chemistry. She is currently the lead researcher for the DRIVE study. Prior to joining the ANDP lab, she worked in a diffusion MRI lab that primarily studied Traumatic Brain Injury. She is excited to add functional MRI and clinical interviewing to her repertoire and is interested in how structural and functional connectivity can predict risk behaviors, clinical symptoms, and treatment responses. In particular, she is interested in how frontostriatal connectivity and reward sensitivity manifest in mood disorders. She is considering a PhD in Clinical Psychology, but is also becoming increasingly disillusioned by the current state of academia. In her free time, she plays saxophone and accordion, writes fiction and music, gardens, and rollerskates!
