Dr. Eliot next trained as a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dan Johnston at Baylor College of Medicine, where her research addressed the mechanisms of calcium influx in hippocampal neurons. She joined the CMS faculty in 2002 and currently directs the Medical Neuroscience course for first year medical students, the Ethics in Biomedical Research course for first year PhD students, and the Interdepartmental PhD Program in Neuroscience.

Dr. Eliot has published more than 60 works, including peer-reviewed journals articles, magazine pieces, and the book, What's Going on in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life (Bantam, 2000). Honors include a Magna cum laude bachelor's degree from Harvard, a predoctoral NSF fellowship, a postdoctoral NIH fellowship, a Grass Fellowship in Neurophysiology, a Whiteley Scholarship from the University of Washington, and a Rosalind Franklin Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Dr. Eliot's second book, Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps and What We Can Do About It (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), was published in hardcover in 2009 and paperback in 2010.
