Educational Background:

• Post-Doctoral fellow of Social Neuroscience at Emory University and at the Yerkes National Primate
• Research Center and at the Center for Translational Social Neuroscience
• Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Physiology from Universit茅 Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France
• M.S. in Neuroscience and Physiology from Universit茅 Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in Lyon, France
• M.S. Neuropsychology and Cognitive Science from Universit茅 Lumiere Lyon 2 in Lyon, France
• B.S. in Psychomotor Therapy at the University Saint-Joseph in Beirut, Lebanon

Research Interests:

• Implementing a new initiative in autism research which is adding Deep Phenotyping Rigor for any research related to autism. Conducting a multidisciplinary (using behavioral, physiological, neuroimaging approaches) and multimodal (social cognition, empathy, negative valence, and other) investigation of families touched by autism. Using machine learning approaches to predict ASD diagnosis and to come up with biologically relevant subtypes of ASD.
• Precision medicine approach to study the role of different treatments that can be effective for specific subtypes of ASD.
• Studying the nature of deficit in women of Autism in addition to men with Autism.
• Studying the neural correlates of affiliative behaviors.
• Uncovering new biomarkers to predict early symptoms of ASD.
• Conducting translational research in prairie voles to better understand the neural mechanisms of social learning and to find optimal treatment that can help with anxiety reduction and social learning in autism.
