Dr. Lisa Hamrick

Dr. Lisa Hamrick is a postdoctoral fellow. Lisa is excited to be returning to the NDD Lab, as she worked in the lab for two years as a research assistant prior to completing her PhD in Clinical Psychology at Purdue University under the mentorship of Bridgette Kelleher (another NDD Lab alum!). Lisa’s research focuses on early social communication and language development of children at increased likelihood of autism and neurodevelopmental conditions, including children with neurogenetic syndromes such as fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, and Angelman syndrome. Lisa is passionate about developing and utilizing assessment methods that are strengths-based and which capture the full range of abilities of children with neurodevelopmental conditions. In her free time, Lisa enjoys playing tennis, running, scrapbooking, and spending time with husband and daughter.
