Alexis Campanile, Ph.D.

Dr. Lexi Campanile completed her B.S. in Psychology and Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Florida State University in Tallahassee Florida. She completed her doctoral training under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Eckel, where Lexi used a translational approach to examine altered immune function in disordered eating behaviors using both a rat model of binge-like eating, and biological and clinical data from women with bulimic syndromes. Lexi is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Fonken lab and is interested in how immune function can become dysregulated with age and how this can lead to changes ranging from the behavioral to cellular level.
