About the event:
A Neuroengineering Lens into Treatment of Youth Mental Health and Addiction with Dr. Faranak Farzan
This lecture is part of the President’s Faculty Lecture Series.
It is estimated that one in every five North American youths is affected by a mental illness. Unfortunately, current treatments are too often a trial-and-error process and cause side effects in a large minority.
To tackle these challenges, Dr. Faranak Farzan works at the cross section of engineering and neuroscience to study the human brain as a circuit. Join her as she shares her research into new diagnostic and treatment solutions for mental illnesses such as youth depression and addiction.
Volunteers for this event will support general event logistics.
