Presenter Details

Melissa Warden, PhD
Assistant Professor
Cornell University

Warden is an assistant professor and Miriam M. Salpeter Fellow in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University and is a member of the Cornell Neurotech Advisory Group and the Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, and Biomedical and biological Sciences graduate fields. She received an AB in molecular biology from Princeton University and a PhD in systems neuroscience from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she investigated prefrontal neuronal encoding of multi-item short-term memory with Earl K. Miller. As a postdoctoral fellow with Karl Deisseroth at Stanford University, Warden studied cortical control of neuromodulatory systems in motivated behavior. Her research at Cornell integrates imaging, neurophysiological and cellular and molecular approaches to study the neural circuits regulating motivated behavior and their dysfunction.
