Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaxine Collard is an MD/PhD neuroscientist and clinician-scientist based in San Francisco who applies mathematical and computational methods to unravel how brains and minds compute. With 11 years of research experience spanning Johns Hopkins and UCSF, her work bridges real-time human ECoG recordings in the OR, calcium imaging of astrocytes, and language-model analyses of written behavior to probe mental states. Her PhD unified relational notions of computation across neurons, non-neuronal cells, aneural organisms, and artificial agents, reflecting a rare blend of theory, wet-lab, and clinical perspectives. Passionate about translational psychiatry, she aims to build tools that let people actively reshape the internal models that determine their lived experience. An underappreciated thread in her profile is a consistent focus on the “dark matter” of the brain—astrocytes—and how they inform broader theories of cognition and computation.
