Congrats, Dr. Vassall!

Who: Sarah Vassall, PhD

Department: Neuroscience

PI Mentor: Dr. Mark Wallace

Research: I examined audiovisual spatial integration in autism, both function and relationship to core and associated features of the disorder.

Vanderbilt Impact:

“The Vanderbilt resources that made an impact in my training include the Teaching Certification Program for getting me closer to my goal of finding a professorship with a strong teaching component. Additionally, the University Counseling Center (UCC), for helping me develop a healthy work-life balance and keep my mental health on track.” 

Post-PhD Plans: I am working a postdoc at VUMC examining insula function in psychosis.
