Dr. Canli has two fundamental research interests. One is the “Biology of Personality and Individual Differences”, on which he edited a book by the same title (Guilford Publications, 2006). In particular, he is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying geneenvironment interactions, and how these interactions shape neural circuits that regulate social and emotional behavior. His area of expertise covers psychology, neuroscience and neuroimaging, and molecular genetics. He plays many advisory roles, including as a member of the Steering Committee in Positive Neuroscience to the Templeton Foundation, and as a Member of the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA), Genetics Subcommittee. Dr. Canli’s other interest is neuroethics. He is a co-founder of the Neuroethics Society, an international scholarly society concerned with the ethical implications of neuroscience applications in the real world. He has served on the Executive Board of the Neuroethics Society since its inception in 2006, and also serves as a Senior Fellow in the Stony Brook Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics, as well as a member of the Advisory Council of the Brazilian Ethics and Bioethics Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Canli has received several awards, including the 2008 James McKeen Cattell Sabbatical Award from the Cattell Fund and the Association for Psychological Science, the 2006 Alumni Recognition Award from Tufts University’s EPIIC (Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship) Program “in recognition of your distinguished scholarly accomplishments, pathbreaking ways to understand the brain, and your dedication to ethics in science and public policy”. His interests in neuroethics are ever-evolving. His current interest lies in global mental health and security issues.
