Our Meet the PI lecture series continues on December 9, 2022 when we will feature the research of Andrea Goldschmidt, PhD.
Dr. Goldschmidt is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and serves as director of the Pathological Eating Behaviors Lab, a research initiative established to investigate mechanisms underlying loss of control eating and pathological eating behaviors in youth. Her lecture will provide an overview of the presentation and clinical significance of loss of control eating in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity. Ongoing research examining self-regulation mechanisms that contribute to its onset and/or maintenance, including affective and cognitive processes and their underlying neural substrates, will be discussed.
Lectures will be offered as a hybrid event. Join us in-person in the UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital Auditorium (masking is required) or to attend remotely, click on this Zoom link and enter the following information:
