SPONDITA GOSWAMI, PhD, is a Staff Scientist in the Bioethics Research Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She earned her PhD in Experimental Psychology (Social concentration), with a secondary concentration in quantitative and qualitative methods, and completed postdoctoral training focused on ethical, psychological, and communication challenges in engineering and health research.

Working with MPIs Jessica Mozersky and Sarah Hartz, Spondita’s mixed-methods research focuses on ethical and patient-centered communication of Alzheimer disease biomarker results, including genetic, blood-based, and imaging-based risk information. She examines psychological, cognitive, and behavioral responses to the return of research results and analyzes longitudinal outcomes in the WeSHARE (Washington University Study of Having Alzheimer Disease Research Results Explained) study.
