Biography
Dr. Hardee is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry as well as a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology. She has extensive experience with neuroimaging, primarily functional magnetic resonance imaging. Her research investigates the neurobiological and behavioral comorbidities of risk for substance use disorders in both adolescents and young adults, as well as sex differences in the neural circuitry associated with risk for substance use and problem alcohol use. Dr. Hardee is also interested in developmental brain changes that are hypothesized to play in a central role in changes in alcohol consumption during the mid-20s, as most individuals will naturally mature out of heavy alcohol use while some will persist or escalate in their drinking.
