Suzanne Haber

Suzanne N. Haber is an American academic and neuroscientist. She is a professor at the University of Rochester,[1] Visiting Professor at the Department of Psychiatry of Harvard Medical School, and a scientist at McLean Hospital.[2] She is known for her research on the neural circuitry of the basal ganglia and its implications in psychiatric disorders. She is co-principal investigator on an USD 23 Mio. grant of the NIH BRAIN initiative[3] and principal investigator of an NIH Conte Center to study obsessive–compulsive disorder.[4][5] She has been councilor of the Society for Neuroscience[6] and is editor of a scientific text book on the frontal cortex.[7]

Early life and education

Suzanne Haber obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She earned her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.[8]

Career

After completing her doctorate, Haber conducted postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). She later joined the faculty at the University of Rochester Medical Center, where she became a full professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology.[1]

Research

Haber's research focuses on the anatomy and function of the basal ganglia and associated cortical regions.[9] She employs neuroanatomical tracing techniques in primates to map the connections between different brain areas. Her work has provided insights into how these neural circuits contribute to normal behavior and how their dysfunction may lead to psychiatric conditions like OCD and depression.
