Biography

Jennifer Barredo holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Washington (2006) and a PhD in Neuroscience from Brown University (2013). She joined the faculty of the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior in 2017. Barredo's research primarily employs neuroimaging and machine learning techniques to explore structural and functional brain signatures related to mental health disorders, particularly suicidal ideation and behavior. She aims to identify biological markers that indicate vulnerability and resilience, which can be used to tailor mental health interventions. Her focus includes the interaction of trait-state dynamics in suicide risk and the integration of deep phenotyping with neuroimaging technologies. Additionally, Barredo directs the Clinical Neuroimaging Research Core in her department and works with various investigators to characterize predictors of response to neuromodulation treatments for conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Throughout her career, Barredo has received several awards, including the National Research Service Award Predoctoral Fellow and the VA Clinical Science Career Development Award. Currently, she leads projects funded by the Veterans Affairs and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation that investigate neurostimulation and psychosocial interventions in relation to suicidality.
