Dr. Devon Oskvig received a Ph.D. in Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience from Georgetown University and completed her postdoctoral training in the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program. She identified novel cellular and molecular mechanisms by which maternal infection alters the fetal environment with consequential effects on central nervous system development and function. Prior to joining CSR, Dr. Oskvig was a scientific review officer at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and prior to that she was a program director in the Division of Neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Before entering federal service, Dr. Oskvig was a military medical research consultant with a large government consulting firm.
