Hi! I’m Dr. Travis Goode (“Good”)!

I am a neuroscientist studying the neurobiology of learning and memory, with a focus on mechanisms relevant to psychiatric disease. I am currently a K99/R00 fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Amar Sahay at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

I grew up in East Tennessee and am a first-generation college graduate and scientist. My interests in neuroscience were shaped by my family’s experiences with addiction and mental illness, which continue to motivate my research program.

- - -

My work combines behavioral and systems neuroscience approaches to define how neural circuits calibrate complex behaviors. The long-term goal of my research is to identify circuit-level mechanisms that can inform therapeutic strategies for psychiatric illness.

I am also committed to mentoring trainees from diverse and nontraditional backgrounds and to fostering a supportive scientific community. Outside of the lab, I enjoy guitar, video games, and distance running.
