Natasha Marrus, MD, PhD Washington University in St. Louis Profile About the Speaker: Natasha Marrus is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Radiology at the Washington University in St. Louis, where she also received her MD-PhD in 2007. Her research focuses on the development of social motivation in infants and young children, including developing measures of social motivation to be applied in early childhood (with a focus on children at risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder).
