Research

My research in neuropediatrics focuses on understanding how early brain insults impact development of socioemotional behavior and stress regulation using nonhuman primate (NHP) models. My lab combines neuroimaging and neuromodulation (e.g., chemogenetic manipulation) techniques with NHP behavior and stress neuroendocrinology approaches to gain critical insights into the neurodevelopmental processes that support typical and atypical development.
