Elizabeth (Zab) Johnson is the Executive Director and Senior Fellow of the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative and an adjunct professor of Marketing at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on vision and visual behavior. Her work spans physiological approaches in the retina and early visual cortex to using eye tracking to investigate how human observers look and navigate through the world, how these processes unfold over time and with experience, and the role of social cognition and decision-making in these processes.

Before joining Wharton, Zab was an assistant research professor of neurobiology at Duke University's School of Medicine, where she also launched the Duke Institute of Brain Sciences. She has a PhD in neural science from New York University and an AB in psychobiology from Mount Holyoke College. She is passionate about how neuroscience can impact and improve many aspects of how we make choices, lead organizations, and live our lives. Her research and practice strive to push applications of neuroscience outside of the traditional laboratory to find new solutions for real world challenges that impact both business and society.
