"I think the award to Amy reflects her highly innovative application of network-based approaches toward brain function and dysfunction. Moreover, by extending these questions in the service of a clinically important syndrome like OCD, her work really begins to advance our department's program of using innovative analytic approaches toward discovering novel and clinically-relevant correlates of brain network dysfunction in neuropsychiatric illness," Dr. Diwadkar said. "Amy has achieved much of this while going through her didactic curriculum as a second-year medical student and studying for her boards. This is a remarkable achievement and demonstrates what is possible for our students to achieve on the international stage."
