Nakul Aggarwal
Resident in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioNakul Aggarwal, MD, PhD, is a psychiatry resident on the research track at Stanford. He studies the mechanisms of neuroplasticity in very early development, with a focus on white matter and myelination, and how they can be engaged therapeutically — with the goal of not only treating but preventing psychiatric illness. Working across mice, nonhuman primates, and children, he combines multimodal neuroimaging with pharmacological repurposing and brain stimulation to identify when developing circuits are most tractable and whether intervening in those windows can shift the course of psychopathology. He completed his MD and PhD at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
