Marianne C. Reddan, PhD
Dr. Marianne Reddan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a K12 Scholar. She earned her PhDs in Psychology & Neuroscience and Cognitive Science from the University of Colorado Boulder under the mentorship of Dr. Tor Wager. There, her research focused on the neural mechanisms of emotion regulation and social learning in the context of pain. She completed her postdoctoral training in the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab directed by Dr. Jamil Zaki. Her research combines diverse methodologies, including functional MRI, psychophysiology, and computational modeling, to understand how beliefs, shaped by both personal and socioecological factors, impact emotion, cognition, and health.

Sydney Gilmore, First Year Medical Student
Sydney joined the lab in the fall of 2024 as a first-year medical student. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh, where she pursued two different research focuses: investigating educational interventions to enhance early elementary mathematical skills and exploring potential biomarkers to predict treatment responses to immune checkpoint therapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Sydney’s current interests center on understanding how internalized resource availability can shape the experience of pain. Outside of the lab, she enjoys painting, crocheting, hiking, and traveling. |
