Estibaliz Arce, Ph.D.
Young Investigator

Estibaliz Arce, Ph.D. is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Arce attended undergraduate and doctoral studies at Universidad de Deusto, Spain. Upon completion of her B.S., she received a predoctoral fellowship to develop part of her clinical and research requirements in the United States. In 2004, she started working under the supervision of Dr. Martin Paulus and Dr. Murray Stein, investigating the neurobiology of anxiety disorders using fMRI. In 2006, she was awarded an NIMH-funded Research Fellowship in Biological Psychiatry and Neuroscience to evaluate the neural substrates of healthy and abnormal emotion processing and its relationship to genetic structure. Her current research interests include the neural substrates of emotion processing underlying resilience to anxiety disorders and its relationship to genetic factors.
