Erin is the Senior Project Manager for the Brain Modulation Lab. She works closely with lab members and external sponsors/collaborators to plan and conduct the lab’s research studies, as well as gene therapy, cell, and device clinical trials within the MGH Division of Functional Neurosurgery. She received her BA in neuroscience from Hamilton College in 2018. While at Hamilton, she completed an undergraduate senior thesis in which she studied rodent hippocampal memory systems. Erin then completed her PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Southern California in 2023. During her doctoral training, she studied perivascular spaces in Parkinson’s disease, and the impact of lifestyle factors including exercise and sleep on disease pathophysiology. She worked briefly in scientific communications before joining the lab.
