Keynote Presented by:

Annie T. Ginty, Ph.D.

Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience

Dr. Ginty completed her Ph.D. in Behavioral Medicine at University of Birmingham. Her Ph.D. examined the behavioral and neural correlates of diminished cardiovascular responses to acute psychological stress. Dr. Ginty was then awarded a two-year AXA Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to investigate the relationship between biological responses to stress and adaptation during a stressful life transition. Dr. Ginty then completed a T32 Fellowship in Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine at University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Ginty serves as an Associate Editor for Psychophysiology, a Deputy Editor for Stress & Health, and is on the Editorial Board of Biopsychosocial Science and Medicine and Biological Psychology. She is a Fellow of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research and the Society for Biopsychosocial Science and Medicine. 

Dr. Ginty's research focuses on how the brain links psychological experiences, such as stress, with cognitive, biological, and behavioral changes that matter for health? This question is at the heart of Dr. Ginty’s research program, which integrates neuroimaging, psychophysiological, neuroendocrine, and epidemiological methods. Her particular focus is on the neurobiology of the peripheral nervous system and cardiovascular responses to stress and their relationship with unhealthy behaviors and future disease.
