Cassie Overstreet is a Researcher and Postdoctoral Associate in Psychiatry at Yale University's Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Gelernter Lab. Her research focuses on psychiatric genetics, resilience mechanisms, and genetic risk factors for mental health disorders such as PTSD and alcohol use disorders. She collaborates extensively with leading researchers including Joel Gelernter, Renato Polimanti, and Daniel Levey.
Her work integrates large-scale genomic data, electronic health records, and population-based cohorts to explore genetic architectures of complex traits. Notable projects include studies on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, VA Million Veteran Program analyses, and multi-ancestry investigations of alcohol use genetics.
Publications highlight trends in leveraging diverse datasets to understand mental health vulnerabilities and resilience, with a focus on trauma exposure and polygenic risk scoring. No scientific awards are listed, but her contributions to high-impact journals like Science and Nature Medicine reflect significant scholarly impact.
