Ted Satterthwaite is McLure Associate Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. He completed medical and graduate training at Washington University in St. Louis, where he was a student of Randy L. Buckner. Subsequently, he was a psychiatry resident and a neuropsychiatry fellow at Penn, under the mentorship of Raquel E. Gur. He joined the faculty of the psychiatry department in 2014 and served as director of imaging analytics at the Brain Behavior Laboratory from 2015 to 2019. Since 2020, he has directed the Penn Lifespan Informatics and Neuroimaging Center. His research uses multi-modal neuroimaging to describe both normal and abnormal patterns of brain development, in order to better understand the origins of neuropsychiatric illness. He has been the principal investigator on nine R01 grants from the National Institutes of Health. His work has been recognized with the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation’s Klerman Prize for Clinical Research, the NIMH Biobehavioral Research Award for Innovative New Scientists (BRAINS) award, the NIH Merit Award, as well as several teaching awards.

How scuba diving helped me embrace open science
Our lab adopted practices to make data- and code-sharing feel safer, including having the coding equivalent of a dive buddy. Trainees call the buddy system a welcome safety net.

New Stanford initiative aims to build digital twin of human brain
The effort, funded by private donors, seeks to train the model on a trove of MRI and magnetoencephalography data that scientists plan to collect over the next five years—but questions about its scientific utility and feasibility remain.

The genome offers a recipe, not a blueprint, for the brain
During brain development, genes set the rules and turn the knobs; self-organization does much of the rest.

Autism research involving monkeys contends with uphill battle
Macaques and marmosets recapitulate the condition’s core traits better than mice can, but funding uncertainty and challenges at primate centers in the United States could make this work difficult to continue.
