Dr. Hongjoo Joanne Lee’s professional research centers on Behavioral Neuroscience, particularly focusing on the role of the amygdala in fear learning and how stress modulates learning and memory. After receiving her Ph.D. in Psychology with a Behavioral Neuroscience emphasis from Yale University, she completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Her primary research goal is to employ a multidisciplinary approach to understand the amygdala-dopamine systems in learning and memory, applying this knowledge to address emotional and cognitive issues associated with neurological conditions. Currently, her work focuses on understanding individual differences in learned behaviors and their implications for attenuating reward-related drug memories. She is deeply committed to fostering a learning environment that is safe and supportive of diverse identities and perspectives.
