Hannah Jo is a senior from Seoul, South Korea majoring in Neuroscience with minors in Global Health and Health Policy. Coming from a family of North Korean defectors, she is particularly passionate about advancing treatments for conflict-related trauma and shaping US grand strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. Both her Junior Papers investigated the modulation of serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A) receptors with 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) in promoting fear suppression. Her Senior Thesis, generously supported by the Boyce Batey Award, aims to develop a novel mouse model of drug-assisted exposure therapy to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). On campus, Hannah is a Peer Academic Adviser and Peer Health Advisor at the Rockefeller College, volunteers with the Pace Center for Civic Engagement and is an undergraduate research assistant at the Peña Lab. Building on her work at the Center for Computational Cognitive Neuropsychiatry and the Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic, she seeks to enhance peacebuilding efforts in post-conflict regions, drawing on the shared experiences of adversity and resilience among affected individuals. She speaks Korean and Mandarin.
