Jamie L. Eberling, PhD
Associate Director
Research Programs
Jamie Eberling earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in biological psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. She went on to do her postdoctoral work at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) where she used PET and SPECT imaging to study neurodegenerative disorders. She then became a staff scientist at LBNL and continued to use imaging to study disorders of aging, with an emphasis on Parkinson’s disease.
Dr. Eberling collaborated with Krys Bankiewicz of the University of California, San Francisco, in several studies using PET imaging to monitor dopamine function in parkinsonian pre-clinical models before and after gene therapy (AAV-AADC and AAV-GDNF). She also analyzed the PET imaging data for a Phase 1 clinical trial of AAV-AADC gene therapy conducted at UCSF.
She was a member of the Adult Psychopathology and Disorders of Aging study section at the National Institutes of Health and was a regular reviewer for numerous scientific journals.
