Hannah Zikria-Hagemeier is a cognitive and behavioral neuroscience graduate student at George Mason University researching better molecular mechanisms for creating improved therapeutics for neurodevelopmental conditions. She completed her bachelors in neuroscience and psychology, concentrating in cognitive neuroscience and minoring in mind-brain studies from George Washington University. Her post-baccalaureate research was on the genetic and molecular bases for neurodevelopmental conditions, and her graduate research is focused on pinpointing specific molecular mechanisms for the purpose of improving treatments for neurodevelopmental conditions.
