Amanda Shallcross has a background in clinical medicine and is currently managing the Emotion Regulation Lab.  She graduated from National College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2005, and is a board certified naturopathic physician.  Throughout medical school she felt stymied by the irony that despite  advances in fields such as psychophysiology; there is a lack of understanding among medical professionals about the ways in which psychological processes and states influence physical health.  She is hoping to help bridge this information gap by gaining experience in the realm of psychophysiological research.
