What this research studies
This research focuses on training postdoctoral fellows to investigate the effects of childhood stress and trauma on health outcomes. The program aims to develop new prevention and intervention strategies to promote resilience in children and families. Fellows will engage in hands-on research under the guidance of experienced faculty mentors, exploring the biobehavioral mechanisms that link childhood adversity to long-term health issues. The training is designed to enhance the skills of researchers in the fields of psychology, public health, and medicine.
