Jay Kim is a second-year postdoctoral researcher at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. She earned her BSc in physiology-pharmacology and her PhD in pharmaceutical sciences (focusing on neuropsychopharmacology) at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. Her current research investigates the epigenetics of stress, using novel gene-editing tools to both mimic and reverse these pathological effects in cultured cells and laboratory mice. She has always maintained a deep interest in neuropsychology and the biological underpinnings of mental illness. At Princeton, she is committed to advancing her research and exploring the role of academic science in our society.
