Damien Fair, P.A.-C., Ph.D. is the co-director of the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain. There his work focuses on advancing the understanding of brain development in health and disease.
He was also the co-founder of the OHSU Fellowship for Diversity in Research and the principal investigator of the Developmental Cognition and Neuroimaging Lab. His research interests focused on Cognitive Brain Development, ADHD, Autism, and neuroimaging. The DCAN Lab focuses on mechanisms and principles that underlie the developing brain. The majority of their work uses functional MRI and resting state functional connectivity MRI to assess typical and atypical populations. They also focus on testing the feasibility of using various functional and structural MRI techniques in translational studies of developmental neuropsychiatric disorders.
Damien obtained his Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, under Dr. Bradley Schlaggar and Dr. Steven Petersen.
