Lauren Bowen, PhD

Dr. Bowen is a Research Instructor and neuroimaging specialist. She obtained a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Florida International University and a MS in Experimental Psychology from Nova Southeastern University. Her research focuses on understanding the heterogeneous neurobiological mechanisms that underly the development and progression of psychotic disorders. Dr. Bowen’s research program uses multimodal neuroimaging (e.g., task-based and ‘resting-state’ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and structural MRI), neurocognitive testing, and “big data” to tackle open questions in cognitive neuroscience to move towards precision medicine in brain health. Her work is focused on data-guided analysis techniques to better understand the timing and nature of disease trajectories.
