Anjali Sankar, PhD, is an Assistant Professor Adjunct of Psychiatry at Yale University's School of Medicine. Her research focuses on mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder, with an emphasis on identifying neurobiological markers for early diagnosis and treatment optimization. She investigates brain circuitry, neuroimaging correlates of mood states, and suicide risk prediction in youth. Her work integrates functional neuroimaging (fMRI, PET), structural MRI, and psychobehavioral interventions.
Education: PhD from King’s College London (2015), Postdoctoral Associate at Yale since 2018. Awards include a 2019 travel award for the Wisconsin Symposium on Emotion.
