Dr. Elizabeth Mulligan is a postdoctoral researcher within the UIC CLEAR Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Tory Eisenlohr-Moul. She is a recipient of the Neuroscience of Mental Health T32 Fellowship from the National Institute of Mental Health in UIC’s Department of Psychiatry. Her research leverages multimodal approaches (EEG, biological, self-report, and behavioral data) to examine the neurobiological bases of mood and anxiety disorders in adolescents and adults. She is particularly interested in reproductive mental health and examining effects of female neuroactive steroids on neural pathways underlying affective disorders.

Dr. Mulligan received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Florida State University. She also received her Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Clinical Psychology at Florida State University. She completed her clinical psychology residency at the University of Illinois Chicago. She received multiple awards during her doctoral training, including a Predoctoral T32 Award and an F31 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award from the National Institute of Mental Health.
