Mission

The Center for Law, Brain & Behavior puts the most accurate and actionable neuroscience in the hands of judges, lawyers, policymakers and journalists—people who shape the standards and practices of our legal system and affect its impact on people’s lives. We work to make the legal system more effective and more just for all those affected by the law.

Dr. Saadi’s research focuses on neurologic health disparities and social and structural determinants of health among racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants, and refugees. She is committed to action-oriented, community-engaged and policy-relevant research that will improve the health outcomes for marginalized populations.
