Madeleine Nowak, PhD is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders (TRACTS) and has been actively involved in research at VA Boston since September 2022. She began her postdoctoral career with a T32 Fellowship at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and the National Center for PTSD, working closely with both TRACTS and CASSL team members. She earned her Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology with an emphasis in Neuroscience from Indiana University, where she investigated the vulnerability of ADHD to neural stress using novel applications of neuroimaging, blood-based, cognitive, and neuro-ophthalmologic markers of brain injury. Dr. Nowak's work with CASSL centers on her interests in understanding how mental and physical health factors influence brain injury, neurodegenerative disorders, and sensory deficits, with particular attention to PTSD, ADHD, and the effects of physical activity on brain health.
