Aaron Limoges

PhD Student, Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University

Aaron Limoges is a PhD student in the Department of Biological Sciences. His doctoral research is performed at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, where he studies cell- and circuit-level mechanisms through which stress affects cognition and mood. As a neuroscientist, Aaron wants to find new ways to merge biological and behavioral data. While he believes that statistical modeling can help diagnose patients and predict their responsiveness to certain treatments, building accurate models requires an abundance of patient information, and Aaron therefore hopes to help scientists, regulators, and the public work together so that rights to privacy are respected. Before coming to Columbia, Aaron earned his B.S. in Psychology from Kansas State University and was a Post-Baccalaureate Fellow at the National Institutes of Health.
