Brendan Adkinson

Brendan Adkinson is an MD-PhD candidate in the Multimodal Imaging, Neuroinformatics, & Data Science (MINDS) Lab. His research focuses on using human neuroimaging to build machine learning models that predict individual psychiatric symptom profiles and is supported by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). He also evaluates how these models may be biased in underrepresented patient populations, particularly rural populations. Before matriculating at Yale, Brendan worked under the mentorship of Dr. Alan Anticevic, focusing on studies of schizophrenia, autism, and OCD, including a pharmacological manipulation with ketamine.

Brendan graduated summa cum laude as a member of Phi Beta Kappa from Marietta College where he was a letterman on the varsity football team and captain of the varsity tennis team. Outside of the classroom, Brendan is founder of Elevation Gateway (elevationgateway.com), an advisor to Cocoa360 (cocoa360.org), and a member of Vox Church.
