Madeline Garvey

Madeline is a combined MD/PhD student in the National Institutes of Health – Cambridge Scholars program, where she splits her time between the Systems Neuroscience Lab at Cambridge and the Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. She studies rare genetic disorders involving copy number variations (CNVs) at chromosome 7q11.23, including Williams syndrome and 7q11.23 Duplication syndrome. Her work aims to find connections between genetic alterations and brain phenotypes by synthesizing data from individuals with 7q11.23 CNVs at both micro (genetic/transcriptomics) and macro (brain structure and function) scales using a network neuroscience approach.
