Joy Hirsch, Ph.D., is a distinguished neuroscientist and currently a Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobiology at Yale University. With a career marked by groundbreaking achievements, she is a pioneer in the field of brain research. Dr. Hirsch played a pivotal role in the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a revolutionary imaging technique that allows us to visualize specific brain structures and neural networks engaged during various cognitive processes.

Her recent appointment at Yale University sees her leading a new Brain Function Laboratory, following her previous role as Professor of Neuroscience at Columbia University, where she founded and directed the Functional MRI Research Center.

Dr. Hirsch's research has primarily focused on unraveling the intricate connections between the brain, mind, and behavior. She has translated these discoveries into practical medical applications, including brain mapping procedures for neurosurgical planning, aiding in the protection of critical functions like language, movement, vision, and hearing during procedures such as tumor resections. Her work has also delved into understanding neural processes related to emotions, including fear and conflict, with implications for conditions such as anxiety disorders.

Her diverse research portfolio extends to clinical applications, such as the development of an imaging diagnostic for autism and the exploration of neural mechanisms associated with obesity. Dr. Hirsch's contributions are underscored by over 120 peer-reviewed scientific papers and chapters, as well as her role as a globally recognized lecturer on the brain.

In recognition of her outstanding contributions to science, she was awarded the prestigious Gamow Science Prize in 2009 and featured as one of the top five women scientists at the 2011 World Science Festival. Dr. Hirsch's passion for neuroscience has also led her to serve as a curator for the 2010-2011 Brain Exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.
