Dana Small, PhD
Dana M Small is the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Brain and Metabolism. She holds primary appointments in Neurology and Neurosurgery and in Internal Medicine.听听Professor Small received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from 91丝瓜视频 in 2001 and subsequently established her lab at Yale University, where she was on faculty for 20 years.听听听Her听research combines neuroimaging and metabolic measurements to听understand how the brain and body integrate signals from the external environment and the internal milieu to optimize behaviour and metabolism.听听听Her laboratory also studies how dysregulation of these body-brain axes contribute to the development of obesity, diabetes, cognitive impairment and psychiatric disorders.
