Turhan Canli is a faculty member at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. He is an integrative neuroscientist who studies individual differences in emotion, personality, and social cognition, with a strong interest in neuroethics. His research lies at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and molecular biology.
Early Life and Educational Background
Canli was born on June 16, 1966, in Mainz, Germany, and grew up in Turkey and Germany. He earned his B.A., summa cum laude, summo cum honore in thesi, in Psychology from Tufts University in 1988, and his Ph.D. in Biopsychology from Yale University in the laboratory of Nelson Donegan in 1993. His postdoctoral training was in behavioral neuroscience with Thomas H. Brown at Yale (1993–1995) and in cognitive and affective neuroscience with John D. E. Gabrieli at Stanford (1995–2001).
