Dashiell Sacks is a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He received his PhD from the Thompson Institute, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. His research focuses on understanding how early environments shape brain development from infancy through adolescence, with a particular interest in factors that influence early mental health and wellbeing. His work spans longitudinal cohort studies in Australia and the United States and integrates environmental, behavioral, and EEG measures to identify neurodevelopmental mechanisms that can inform early identification and intervention efforts.”
