Originally from Brazil, Camila Cosmo earned her M.D. from Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia, her M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Neurophysiology/Neuropsychiatry from Universidade Federal da Bahia, and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. In 2019, she joined Brown University and has trained in the General Psychiatry Program in the NIMH R25-funded research track, also serving as chief resident. Her research focuses on underlying mechanistic aspects of neuromodulation techniques, particularly rTMS and tDCS, and their applicability in the modulation of neuropsychiatric disorders marked by impulsivity and its correlated brain networks.
