Dr. Nida Ali is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Vienna, Austria. Her primary research objective is to understand the pathway that connects stress to disease (and resilience). She investigates the interactions and crosstalk among the biological (neuroendocrine, autonomic, and immune systems) and psychological (cognitive, emotional) processes that are involved during stress, and their links to health and disease in men and women. She uses a multimodal approach—pharmacological administrations, physiological measurements, behavioral assessments, and self-reports—to investigate the effects of stress, in acute, and longitudinal studies. She obtained her PhD in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
