Jessica Cardin is an associate professor in the department of neurobiology at Yale University. She has a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania and conducted her postdoctoral work at both the University of Pennsylvania and the McGovern Institute at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The Cardin laboratory is interested in understanding the mechanisms that promote functional flexibility in cortical circuits and how the activity of those circuits contributes to perception and behavior.
