Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli is the Tommy Fuss Endowed Chair in Precision Psychiatry, the Associate Director of the Center for Precision Psychiatry, Director of EPIC Lab and a member of Harvard Medical School faculty.  Dr. Whitfield-Gabrieli received her BS in Biophysics/Physics and then pursued graduate work in Mathematics (Ph.D./ABD) and in Psychology/Neuroscience (Ph.D.) at UC Berkeley. She has held Research Faculty positions at Stanford University and MIT, and also served as a Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University and Founding Director of the Northeastern University Biomedical Imaging Center (NUBIC). 

Dr. Whitfield-Gabrieli's primary mission is to understand the brain basis of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders and to promote translation of this knowledge into clinical practice. Towards this end, she employs multimodal neuroimaging techniques to investigate the neural underpnnings of typical and atypical development as well as the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. Her ultimate mission is to discover biomarkers, derived from functional and anatomical brain networks, which may be utilized for (a) prediction of therapeutic response, geared towards precision medicine, (b) early detection, which potentiates early interventions designed to mitigate symptom progression, and (c) precision network therapeutics (e.g., real-time fMRI neurofeedback) with the hope of improving, or augmenting, currently available treatments.
