Professor Lucina Uddin was honoured as a Fellow of OHBM at the 2025 annual meeting in Brisbane, Australia, recognizing her outstanding academic leadership and impactful role in many facets of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. She has previously been awarded the OHBM Early Career Investigator (2017) and the Diversity and Inclusivity Champion (2021), and over the years has been a frequent contributor to the OHBM blog. 

Professor Uddin received her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the Department of Psychology at the University of California Los Angeles, and went on to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in the Child Study Center at New York University. She then spent several years at Stanford University as a faculty member in Psychiatry & Behavioral Science. Professor Uddin later returned to UCLA in 2021 as Professor and Director of the Brain Connectivity and Cognition Laboratory and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Analysis Core in the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. Within a cognitive neuroscience framework, Professor Uddin’s research combines functional and structural neuroimaging to examine the organization of large-scale brain networks supporting the development of executive function.

We are honoured to welcome Professor Uddin back for a short interview (see her 2025 keynote interview here), where she reflects on her time in and with OHBM as well as future trajectories of the organization. You can find the video interview below:
