Kristin Scaplen

Kristin Scaplen, Assistant Professor, grew up in Connecticut, not far from the Rhode Island border and has lived in New England for much of her life. She received a B.S. in Biology and a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and her PhD in Neuroscience from Brown University. Prior to coming to Bryant, she spent her postdoc using sophisticated neurogenetic tools to study the persistence of memory in the context of alcohol use. She intends to continue investigating how neural circuits for pathologic memories are established and change with experience to ultimately guide maladaptive reward seeking.
