Matthew D. Sacchet is an American neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University.[1] At McLean Hospital, Sacchet directs the Meditation Research Group.[2] His research focuses on meditation and mood and anxiety disorders and includes studies of brain connectivity using multimodal neuroimaging, in addition to neurofeedback, clinical trials, and computational approaches (e.g., machine learning).[3] He is notable for his work at the intersection of neuroscience, meditation, and mental illness.[4] His work has been cited over 3500 times[5] and covered by major media outlets including CBS,[6] NBC,[7] NPR,[8] Time,[9] and The Wall Street Journal.[10] In 2017 Forbes Magazine selected Sacchet for the “30 Under 30”.[11]

Education

Sacchet received a Sc.B. in Contemplative Science from Brown University and a Ph.D. in Neurosciences from Stanford University.[12]

Academia

Career

Sacchet has held research positions at Brown University, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Tübingen, and Stanford University.[13][14] Since 2019, he has been faculty at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital where he directs the Meditation Research Group.[15] The Meditation Research Group uses scientific research approaches from affective and cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology and psychiatry, computer science and related computational disciplines, contemplative and religious studies, neuro- and micro-phenomenology, human neuroimaging, and psychoneuroimmunology including epigenetics and stress physiology.[16] The goal of the Meditation Research Group is to “[reduce] suffering and improv[e] well-being by informing the development of improved meditation training and meditation-based interventions that are more effective, efficient, and targeted.”[17]

Work

Sacchet’s work has influenced several areas of neuroscience, including: 1. brain connectivity in depression (e.g.,[18][19][20][21][22]); 2. Machine learning and person-specific biomarkers for depression (e.g.,[23][24][25][26]); 3. depression and the brain across the lifespan (e.g.,[27][28][29][30]); and 4. meditation and depression (e.g.,[31][32][33][34]).
