Principal Investigator: Nafisa M. Jadavji, PhD
Link to Dr. Jadavji's CV

Dr. Nafisa (n uh - f ee - s ah) M. Jadavji (j aa - d uh v - j ee) (she/her) is a Neuroscientist. She is an Assistant Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, as well as a Research Professor at the University of Arizona, and Carleton University. She completed her doctoral training at McGill University in Montréal, Canada.  Currently, her laboratory investigates how the brain responds to different biological processes throughout the lifespan. More specifically, her lab studies how the brain responds to changes in one-carbon metabolism, with a specific focus on maternal nutrition contributions to offspring neurodevelopment, neurological diseases (e.g. ischemic stroke and vascular dementia), and aging.  
Dr. Jadavji has received funding from the Arizona Department of Health, American Heart Association (US), Federation of European Neuroscience Society (Europe), NeuroWIND (Germany), Canadian Association for Neuroscience, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, National Science & Engineering Research Council (Canada), International Brain Research Organization, Parkinson's disease Foundation (US), Burroughs Wellcome Fund (US) and Fonds de la recherché en santé Québec (Canada). 
Dr. Jadavji’s research has been published in Biochemical Journal, Neuroendocrinology, Experimental Neurology, Journal of Neuroscience, Human Molecular Genetics, Nutrition Reviews, Toxicological Science, European Journal of Neuroscience, Neural Regeneration Research, Nutritional Neuroscience, Nutrients, and Neurobiology of Disease.  Dr. Jadavji has published 62 peer review papers, over 100 abstracts, and given 50 invited talks about her research.  She has also posted several preprints as an early career researcher.  
Dr. Jadavji has supervised and mentored over 50 undergraduate, graduate, and postdocs so far during her scientific career. 
Dr. Jadavji is an Editorial member for Scientific Reports (Editor), Heliyon (Associate Editor), Frontiers in Nutrition and Neuroscience (Associate Editor), Bioprotocols (Associate Editor), Metabolites (Review Editor) journals. She is the Finance and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for the Journal of Young Investigators (JYI) and Chair of the Advisory Board for Reproducibility for Everyone (R4E). Dr. Jadavji is also the President-Elect of the Graduate Women in Science and the Events Chair for the Association for Nutrition Early Career Research Group. 
When she is not in the laboratory, teaching, or writing, Dr. Jadavji enjoys to cooking and baking gluten free treats. She is also an avid traveler, runner, and knitter. 

Laura Haryono
 Laura is a student currently working towards her bachelor's degree in biomedical science in Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She is thrilled to have an opportunity to explore the field of neurology in the Jadavji Lab. Laura enjoys doing extracurricular activities such as reading, playing the piano, and traveling with family. 
Kalysta Conley, Undergraduate Student
Kalysta is a student currently working towards her Bachelor’s degree in Physiology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She is excited to gain hands on experience in the Jadavji lab and delve deeper into the field of neurology. Outside of school, Kalysta enjoys taking her dog out for hikes. She also enjoys traveling and attending concerts whenever possible.
