Dr. Lischinsky received her undergraduate degree from the University of Toronto where she earned an Honours Bachelor of Science with specialization in Psychology and major in Neuroscience, where she worked in the lab of Dr. Joanne Rovet studying cortical development in children with maternal hypothyroidism. She then went on to complete a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine from The George Washington University, conducting her doctoral work in the lab of Dr. Joshua Corbin where she studied the developmental mechanisms predictive of innate behavior production in the limbic system of male and female mice. She is currently continuing her research on social behaviors as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Dayu Lin, where she is using in vivo behavioral tools and circuit mapping to unravel the circuitry for aggression and mating in the medial amygdala.
