Eugenia Giampetruzzi

I’m a PhD student in the Department of Psychology at Stanford, advised by Dr. Ian H. Gotlib in the Stanford Neurodevelopment, Affect, and Psychopathology (SNAP) Lab. I’m also pursuing a minor in Biomedical Data Science in the School of Medicine and my work is supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.

My research is primarily focused on the intersection of mental and physical health across the lifespan, with a focus on depression and cardiovascular disease. Using medical records, neuroimaging, and physiological and biological measures, I currently study how joint risk for these disorders emerges from the prenatal period through adolescence. Before Stanford, I was an Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health, working with Daniel Pine. Prior to the NIH, I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude as a Robert W. Woodruff Scholar at Emory University, where I participated in competitive policy debate and worked in the Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) Program and Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CAMP).
