My Research Activities

I have a particular interest in identifying the neurobiological underpinnings of stress and trauma in relation to psychiatric conditions. My present research interests are two-fold:

First, I am interested in the investigation of the long-term neurobiological effects of childhood trauma exposure on the risk of developing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In particular, I study the effects of childhood trauma exposure interacting with genetics, epigenetics (methylation), neuroendocrine (cortisol) and inflammatory (cytokines) markers to effect brain structure and function, and neuropsychological performance.

Second, in collaboration with the INSERM Unit 1253 at the University of Tours (France), I am interested in the identification of the early neurobiological (neuroendocrine, neuroimaging) and neuropsychological changes occurring in the aftermath of sexual assault in females, and how these lead to the development of PTSD.

I also contribute to multiple projects through the ENIGMA consortium.
