Eliza Bliss-Moreau

Eliza Bliss-Moreau is a core scientist in the Neuroscience and Behaviour Unit at the California National Primate Research Center[1] and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis.[2] Her work focuses on the biology of emotions in humans and animals,[3] and since the Zika virus epidemic she has been studying the effects of the virus on the developing brain.[4]

Professional history

Bliss-Moreau attended Boston College, where she received her Bachelor of Science in biology and psychology with honors in 2002, and her Ph.D. in psychology in 2008.[4] This is also where she met Lisa Feldman Barrett and worked under her, eventually running the Barrett Lab during her senior undergraduate year.[4] After completing her education at Boston College, she moved to the University of California, Davis and worked with David Amaral, training as a neurosurgeon while working in his lab.[4] She now runs her own lab, the Bliss-Moreau Lab which "conducts comparative and translational affective science using multimethod, multispecies approaches to understand the social and affective lives of humans and nonhuman animals."[5]
