Bio
Hello, my name is Taylor Drazan, and I am an incoming clinical student working with Natasha Chaku. I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. After graduation, I moved to Bethesda, Maryland to join the Section on Behavioral Neuroscience at the National Institute of Mental Health. There, I worked on multiple projects broadly focused on the interaction between hormones, the brain, and behavior during pregnancy and puberty. At Indiana, I am excited to work on projects relating to hormones, behavior, and family relationships during adolescences. Outside of research, I enjoy going for runs, reading crime novels, and learning new skills, currently I am learning how to crochet.
