Jennifer Chan, PhD
About Me
Jennifer Chan is a postdoctoral fellow in Ian Maze's lab in the Neuroscience Department at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She received her PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in the lab of Tracy Bale. Jennifer is a recipient of a NRSA Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (F32) from NIMH and the Robin Chemers Neustein Postdoctoral Fellowship Award from the Friedman Brain Institute at Mount Sinai. Her research interests focus on understanding the factors that underlie risk and resilience for mental health disorders. In particular, her studies utilize a combination of molecular, biochemical, genome editing, and behavioral approaches to examine the role of novel chromatin mechanisms involved in mouse brain development, as well as changes in neuroplasticity following pregnancy and postpartum experiences.
