Dr. Linden Parkes Recognized as 2025 Rising Star by The Transmitter

Dr. Linden Parkes, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Core Faculty Member of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI), has been named one of The Transmitter’s Rising Stars of Neuroscience 2025.

The Transmitter’s Rising Stars of Neuroscience recognizes early-career researchers who have made outstanding scientific contributions to the field and demonstrated a commitment to mentoring and community-building. This group comprises early-career researchers from across the field, including computational, molecular, and cognitive neuroscience, who strive to answer some of its most pressing questions. They’ve also founded mentorship groups, held leadership positions at neuroscience organizations, developed initiatives to translate basic science for wider audiences and more.

Dr. Parkes’ work aims to elucidate the pathways linking brain networks to behavior and psychopathology. His work uses predictive modeling of connectomics to reveal the neural substrates of transdiagnostic features of psychopathology. Dr. Parkes’ SNaP Lab studies how complex neural systems shape behavior and cognition, and how dysfunction in these systems tracks the emergence of psychopathology.
