Claire Foldi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. She heads the Neural Mechanisms of Eating Disorders laboratory and completed her PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience at the Queensland Brain Institute in 2012. Her postdoctoral training focused on electrophysiology and molecular neurobiology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. She has been with Monash University since 2015. Dr. Foldi's research prioritizes understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying severe psychiatric diseases, with a particular focus on the often-unreported response heterogeneity observed in single neurons in both animal models and clinical patients. Her current work examines the impact of specific neural circuitries on feeding behavior and body weight maintenance in anorexia nervosa, exploring the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in treating anorectic pathologies. Dr. Foldi's lab is funded by the National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of Australia and several other prestigious research foundations. Additionally, she teaches lectures for the Integrative Neuroscience course and runs Masterclasses and Journal Clubs for Master's students in Biomedical Health Sciences.
