Research Direction:The neurocircuitry underlying clinical symptoms of depression and its application on intervention
Education:Dr.Dan Dai received her PhD in neurobiology from Zhejiang University in 2017, with the research topic on the neuropathogenesis of depression. She was awarded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) to conduct research related to depression at the Netherlands Institute of Neuroscience for 2 years during her PhD program.
Research Experience:Dr. Dan Dai started her postdoc position at Fudan University and then Yale University after 2017, focusing on the neuropathogenesis and clinical intervention of depression with brain imaging data, clinical symptoms, and non-invasive brain stimulation methods.
