Dr. Gruber’s research focuses on the application of neurocognitive models and multimodal brain imaging to better characterize neurobiological risk factors for substance use and psychiatric conditions\, and to assess the impact of cannabis and cannabinoid exposure on outcomes related to brain health\, cognition\, and clinical state. \nDr. Sagar is a member of the Gruber Lab and is an Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sagar works in the Cognitive and Clinical Neuroimaging Core (CCNC) as well as the MIND programs at McLean Hospital.
