Amy Janes is Chief of the Cognitive and Pharmacological Neuroimaging Unit at the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Intramural Research Program[1]. She is known for her work using multimodal neuroimaging to examine individual differences and potential therapeutics in addictive and substance use disorders. Prior to joining NIDA, Janes was an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, working at McLean Hospital, where she founded the Functional Integration of Addiction Research Laboratory.[2]

Education and career

In 2001 Janes received a B.A. from Rutgers University. In 2003 she received an M.A. from Boston University, going on to complete her Ph.D. there in 2007. She then joined the faculty at McLean Hospital in 2007, remaining until 2021 when she joined NIDA.[1]

Professional Honors and Duties

Janes has been awarded numerous professional honors, including:

She is the principal editor of Psychopharmacology (journal)[6], and the 2022-2023 president of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence[7][8].

Research

Janes's work in clinical neuroimaging research focuses on substance use disorders. Her research primarily utilizes multimodal neuroimaging techniques to explore various aspects of addiction, including identifying individual vulnerabilities to addiction, evaluating the impact of potential therapeutics on brain function, investigating the interplay between psychiatric disorders and nicotine dependence, and advancing the basic neuroscience understanding of substance use disorders. Her long-term objective is to use neuroscience in guiding the creation of personalized treatments for substance abuse disorders.[1]
