Neuroscience Researcher

Hello! My name is Lea Stith and I am a Behavioral Neuroscience PhD student at Boston University School of Medicine.

I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in December 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Biological Sciences. Prior to beginning my PhD at BU, I worked at UCI as a Research Specialist in Dr. Michael Yassa’s Translational Neuroscience Lab.

I am generally interested in topics in studying cognitive and translational neuroscience, including learning and memory, mood/emotion and psychiatric conditions via neuroimaging and other translational approaches.
