Overview

Chandra A. Reynolds is affiliated with the University of California, Riverside, in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines within medicine, notably psychiatry and mental health, genetics, experimental and cognitive psychology, physiology, and molecular biology.

The main topics in Reynolds's work include dementia and cognitive impairment research, cognitive abilities and testing, genetic associations and epidemiology, birth, development, and health, health, environment, cognitive aging, epigenetics and DNA methylation, and functional brain connectivity studies.

Frequent publication venues for their work include Innovation in Aging, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Alzheimer's & Dementia, Nature Genetics, and European Neuropsychopharmacology.

Among recently published papers by Reynolds are:

  • A genome-wide association study with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease (2021, Nature Genetics)
  • Avoiding dynastic, assortative mating, and population stratification biases in Mendelian randomization through within-family analyses (2020, Nature Communications)
  • Longitudinal trajectories, correlations and mortality associations of nine biological ages across 20-years follow-up (2020, eLife)
  • Within-sibship genome-wide association analyses decrease bias in estimates of direct genetic effects (2022, Nature Genetics)
  • Common variants in Alzheimer's disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores (2021, Nature Communications)

Reynolds collaborates frequently with several researchers, including William S. Kremen, Carol E. Franz, Matthew S. Panizzon, Jeremy A. Elman, and Michael J. Lyons.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing an online degree in psychology opens up a range of rewarding career pathways beyond traditional counseling. Many students choose specialized tracks such as clinical psychology, counseling, or marriage and family therapy (MFT). Each path has unique certification requirements and regional licensing standards across the U.S.

For example, those seeking Kansas City mft education requirements must complete a graduate degree and supervised clinical hours before licensure. Similarly, individuals interested in learning how to become an mft in Laredo must meet Texas-specific regulations, including passing a national exam.

For those looking to build a therapy practice in different cities, it’s important to understand regional nuances. If you want to know how to become an mft in Las Vegas, or explore what’s required how to become an mft in Lexington, you'll find distinct criteria in supervision and examination processes for each location.

Whether pursuing online or campus-based programs, it pays to research state-specific career pathways to ensure you meet the necessary qualifications for your chosen specialty.
