Dr. Camchong is a cognitive neuroscientist by training. The main goal of her research is to identify brain alterations underlying mental health disorders and to conduct clinical trials using non-invasive neuromodulation interventions targeting these alterations. With a focus on substance use disorders, she has published brain imaging studies highlighting the relationship between brain functional organization and addiction treatment outcomes. Dr. Camchong is currently examining the translational potential of our brain imaging findings with the development of non-drug (i.e., non-invasive brain stimulation) neuromodulation interventions. Using an intervention that combines non-invasive brain stimulation and cognitive training, she is leading clinical trials designed to provide new biologically-based interventions for substance use disorder. Her overall goal is to carry out effective clinical and non-invasive interventions to design novel brain-based interventions that support abstinence in substance use disorders.
