Dr. Rachel Marsh's research involves the application of neuroimaging, particularly fMRI, to the study of brain-behavior associations in normal development and in disorders that arise during childhood and adolescence, such as Tourette syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Eating Disorders.
She is the recipient of an NIMH-funded Mentored Research Scientist Development Award, a NARSAD Yong Investigator Award, and an award from the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology.

| I am using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study adolescents with and without Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and sub-clinical BN. The aim of this study is to investigate the neurobiological factors that may contribute to the development and persistence of BN.
