BSC Member - Suzanne N. Haber, Ph.D.

Suzanne N. Haber, Ph.D. is The Dean’s Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology, with secondary appointments in the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Neuroscience, and Psychiatry at the University of Rochester and Visiting Scientist at McLean Hospital. She received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Stanford University and did her postdoctoral research in neuroanatomy at the University of Minnesota and at MIT. Dr. Haber’s research interests focus on the neural networks and circuits that underlie incentive-based learning and decision-making with an emphasis on circuit dysfunction in mental health illnesses. These anatomic connectivity studies are linked to diffusion and resting state functional MRI to better understand how these imaging modalities reflect the anatomic connections.
