Rebecca Shafee

I am a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) working at the intersection of neuroscience and human genetics. My academic training has been in Physics – I did my undergraduate studies at beautiful Pasadena, followed by a move to snowy Boston for my PhD on black holes.

I was born and brought up in Bangladesh.

Fun fact: I completed the Bangladeshi secondary education system (S.S.C and H.S.C.) and the University of London O/A levels at the same time!
