Dr. Scherrer then completed several postdoctoral fellowships, at Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, at the University of Florida, and at Stanford University where she broadened her research interests and studied substance abuse, pain, and the therapeutic effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for chronic pain conditions. Building on her previous instructional training, Dr. Scherrer then decided to focus on educative missions and taught Neuroscience and Psychology at Santa Clara University, before joining ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½-CH in 2020.
