Overview

Lisa M. Shin is affiliated with Tufts University in the United States. Their research spans across medicine and neuroscience, with a specific focus on cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, clinical psychology, behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and neurology.

Their work covers various topics including cardiac health and mental health, stress responses and cortisol, heart rate variability and autonomic control, posttraumatic stress disorder research, child abuse and trauma, tryptophan and brain disorders, and traumatic brain injury research.

Shin's recent papers demonstrate a concentration on the interactions between psychosocial stress and cardiovascular health. Some of these published works include:

  • Disentangling the Links Between Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular Disease (2020, Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging)
  • Stress-associated neurobiological activity associates with the risk for and timing of subsequent Takotsubo syndrome (2021, European Heart Journal)
  • Reduced Stress-Related Neural Network Activity Mediates the Effect of Alcohol on Cardiovascular Risk (2023, Journal of the American College of Cardiology)
  • Anxiety and Depression Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk Through Accelerated Development of Risk Factors (2024, JACC Advances)
  • Neuroimaging correlates and predictors of response to repeated-dose intravenous ketamine in PTSD: preliminary evidence (2021, Neuropsychopharmacology)

Shin frequently publishes in the following venues:

  • Journal of the American College of Cardiology
  • European Heart Journal
  • Biological Psychiatry
  • Brain Behavior and Immunity
  • Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Shin include Michael T. Osborne, Ahmed Tawakol, Shady Abohashem, Roger K. Pitman, and Charbel Gharios. These collaborations have contributed to several studies at the intersection of neural activity, stress, and cardiovascular health.
