Sophia Girgenti

Sophia joined Marsh Lab in June of 2019 as an undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University. She began her lab work by adding substantial data to the comprehensive stroke database and aiding fellow lab member Claire Chen on her project. She graduated in December 2021 with a BS in Neuroscience and minor in psychology. She is now pursuing a masters degree in Neuroscience at Hopkins, while working as the lab’s research coordinator since June 2021. Sophia currently runs the Mindfulness study, investigating whether or not Mindfulness therapy is more effective in stroke recovery than a standardized stroke support group through patient performance and MEG imaging.
