Meet Dr. Bourdon
Official Bio: Dr. Jessica L. Bourdon obtained her Ph.D. in Clinical and Translational Sciences with a concentration in Psychiatric, Behavioral, and Statistical Genetics from Virginia Commonwealth University. She subsequently completed a TranSTAR postdoctoral fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. Accordingly, her work lies at the intersection of translational science, psychiatric genetics, and disorders of addiction. She focuses on socio-ecological (i.e., collaborative) translational frameworks and genetic epidemiological information to enhance the care of individuals struggling with disorders of addiction and those in recovery. Dr. Bourdon’s overarching research agenda is to improve science communication and translational pathways across stakeholders (e.g., researchers, clinicians, patients) as well as to investigate the incorporation of psychiatric genetic information into the care of mental health disorders, specifically disorders of addiction. She is currently the Director of Research Administration at Wellbridge Addiction Treatment and Research. Thus, her professional agenda also includes overseeing all aspects of research coordination, data management, integrity, and protection. Research integrity is vital to high quality research, science, and clinical practices.
