Dr. Kelleher

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR

Dr. Bridgette Kelleher (she/her) is an associate professor of psychological sciences. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina (2015) after completing her APA-certified clinical residency at the Medical University of South Carolina/Charleston Consortium. Kelleher’s internationally recognized research program focuses on optimizing clinical outcomes in “high risk” populations, with particular focus on using technology-driven solutions to assess and treat families affected by rare disorders. Her current research addresses three primary questions:

How can remote technology be used to improve clinical monitoring of children at “high risk” for atypical development, including in the contexts of natural history studies and clinical trials?
How can remotely collected “real world” data be used to improve personalized interventions?
How can clinical research better center patient and community perspectives?

Kelleher works with a variety of communities to address these questions, including children with rare neurogenetic syndromes and their families. Her research has been supported through a variety of active research grants funded by the National Institutes of Health, Angelman Syndrome Foundation, Foundation for Prader Willi Research, and Williams Syndrome Association. More information about these and other projects can be found on the Kelleher Lab web site and social media channels.
