معرفی
Feifei Zhang is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Genetics at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on neuroimaging and genetics underlying cognitive impairment, mental health disorders, and behavioral addictions. She employs advanced neuroimaging techniques to study brain structure and functional connectivity in conditions such as occupational aluminum exposure-induced cognitive decline, depression, and exercise dependence.
Her work integrates genetic analysis with neuroimaging data to uncover mechanisms behind neuropsychiatric conditions. Notable research includes investigations into white and gray matter network disruptions in depression and the role of cortical thickness alterations in behavioral addictions.
Feifei has contributed to over a dozen peer-reviewed articles since 2023, with a focus on translational neuroscience linking molecular genetics to clinical outcomes. Her studies often involve cross-disciplinary collaborations to address complex neurobehavioral questions.
Labs/Teams: Active member of the Yale Genetics Department's neuroscience research group, contributing to studies on environmental toxin effects and mental health biomarkers.
