Alysa E Doyle PhD is a licensed child and adult clinical psychologist trained in psychiatric genetics, developmental psychopathology and pediatric neuropsychology.

Her research aims to clarify the complex mechanisms that confer risk for neuropsychiatric illness across the lifespan. Specifically, she is seeking to understand the roles that genomic variation and cognition play in mental health and psychosocial trajectories from youth to young adulthood. This work will inform the translation of emerging genomic discoveries to the child clinical setting for purposes of risk stratification and early intervention.  

Dr. Doyle is the recipient of several awards including a Dissertation Research Award (American Psychological Association), a 50^th Anniversary Scholars in Medicine Fellowship (Harvard Medical School), a Clinical Research Day Team Award (Massachusetts General Hospital), and an Anne Klibanski Visiting Scholar Award (Massachusetts General Hospital). Her research has been funded by the NIH as well as private foundations.
