Biography

Carlos Cardenas-Iniguez (pronouns he/him/his) is a postdoctoral scholar at the Herting Lab in the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California. Carlos earned his PhD in Psychology and Integrative Neuroscience from the University of Chicago in 2019. His research focuses on using the ABCD Study dataset to explore the impact of social stratification on the environments in which people live, and how these environments, in turn, impact neural and cognitive development and mental health. His research interests also include the implementation of spatial analysis, critical race theory, and anti-racism principles in neuroscience/psychology research.
