Lab Members

Lara Pantlin, M.S. is a 4th year graduate student joining us from Meredith College, where she was a cross country student-athlete and was named the USA South Athletic Conference’s 2014 Woman of the Year. Lara is interested in studying neurophysiological markers associated with the development of psychopathology, particularly in those who are at risk for psychosis.

Elizabeth Andersen, PhD (formerly Elizabeth Burnette) received her B.S. from CSU in 2010 and defended her dissertation, “Convergence of aberrant electrophysiological correlates of salience, affective processing and stress reactivity in patients with schizophrenia” as part of her PhD in Neurobiology at the University of North Carolina Medical School. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholar and she studies the neural correlates of schizophrenia in order to better understand the processes involved in illness onset.
