Eda Naz Dinc

First-year Graduate Student in the Child-Track Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program

Naz is a first-year graduate student in the Child-Track Clinical Psychology doctoral program. She received a bachelor of science degree in neuroscience from Yale University in 2021, where she primarily studied the cellularity of reward-related brain circuitry in children with BJ Casey. After graduating, Naz worked as a lead research assistant on the ABCD Study at Yale under the mentorship of Arielle Baskin-Sommers and Dylan Gee, focusing on youth’s experiences of threat in different social contexts. At FAM Lab, she is excited to use a multimodal approach to research the effects of early life adversity such as maternal depression on the neurobiological and socio-emotional development of youth. Outside of the lab, she enjoys playing tennis, baking, and spending time with friends and family.
