We investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying individual differences in vulnerability to stress-related psychiatric disorders and their treatment.
Our Mission
We investigate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying individual differences in vulnerability to stress-related psychiatric disorders and their treatment. Our goal is to advance the field of psychiatric neuroscience through a holistic investigation of neural circuits, cellular mechanisms, and molecular processes that could be harnessed to better treat or prevent stress-related psychiatric disorders. We focus specifically on how adverse experiences throughout development affect the function of neural circuits that influence stress vulnerability, cognition, and affective behavior. We strive to bridge the gap between basic neuroscience and translational psychiatry by integrating clinical research and novel drug development, and by collaborating with other laboratories world-wide.
