Adina Schwartz, B.S.
Clinical Research Coordinator
Adina Schwartz, B.S., joined the Developing Brain Institute (DBI) in July 2026 as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the Cerebellar Cognition and Learning (CerCL) lab, directed by Catherine J. Stoodley BS, MS, DPhil. Before joining DBI, Adina worked with CerCL lab as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at American University studying the role of the cerebellum in autistic young adults. She is excited to continue her research with the lab and transition her work to a new study utilizing non-invasive neuromodulation and neuroimaging tools to study individualized therapies for cerebellar disorders.
