Biography
Dr. Christine Charvet received her PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, Irvine. Christine went on for postdoctoral training in neuroimaging at Harvard Medical School and statistical genetics at Cornell University. Prior to joining Auburn, Christine was an Assistant Professor at Delaware State University. As an NIH COBRE recruited faculty, she participated in cross-institutional NIH-funded efforts to enhance diversity in biomedical sciences with researchers from the University of Delaware and Delaware State University. Christine was awarded an NIH F32 postdoctoral research fellowship to train at Cornell University, an NIH-INBRE pilot grant to start her research program at Delaware State University, and an NIH R21 grant to grow her research program further.
Dr. Charvet’s research program leverages big data in genetics and neuroimaging to address problems in comparative neuroscience to provide applications to the biomedical community. Christine and her colleagues developed a resource that enables researchers to find corresponding ages across humans and model organisms (https://translatingtime.org). This resource is often used by researchers who study model systems and need to translate their findings to humans. Christine and her colleagues are currently integrating transcriptional, epigenetic, and neuroimaging data to expand on this resource. Christine has authored 36 articles, some of which are in leading journals (e.g., PNAS, Journal of Neuroscience). Please feel free to contact Dr. Charvet if you would like to collaborate on the translating time project.
