Sarah Lichenstein is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. Her research focuses on neuropsychiatric mechanisms of addictions and psychiatric disorders using advanced neuroimaging and computational methods. She is affiliated with the Janeway Society, MR Core, and Women's Health Research at Yale (WHRY) Pilot Project Program. Her work investigates brain networks predicting treatment outcomes for substance use disorders, with funding from NIH (NIDA/NIAAA) and international institutions.
Education details are not explicitly stated in the provided text, but her professional background includes academic appointments and collaborative research across disciplines. Her research integrates neuroimaging data with clinical outcomes to identify predictive biomarkers for addiction and mental health.
Key research themes include cannabis use neurobiology, cocaine vs. cannabis treatment outcome differentiation, and developmental risk factors for substance use. Her studies often leverage large datasets like the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study to uncover latent dimensions of reward/impulsivity and neural correlates of addiction.
Notable collaborations include work with Godfrey Pearlson, Robert Kohler, and Marc Potenza. She has contributed to translational research bridging neuroimaging findings with clinical interventions for addiction treatment.
