Maddie Pike – Ellman Lab

Madeline Pike, M.A.

Maddie is a third-year graduate student in the clinical psychology program working with Dr. Lauren Ellman. She completed her B.A. in Psychology and Religion at Emory University in 2019. Prior to joining the Ellman Lab, Maddie worked as a clinical research assistant for Drs. Edward Craighead and Allison LoPilato at the Emory Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CAMP). Maddie is broadly interested in studying early transdiagnostic risk processes (i.e.: maternal stress, childhood adversity, neuroimmunology) and intervention targets for psychopathology across critical developmental windows. She is particularly passionate about exploring the biological embedding of early life stress and trauma.
