Our lab is focused on the study of developmental neuroscience and psychopathology, particularly in the service of understanding how to optimize preventive intervention programs to promote positive development.  Projects span various developmental stages (early childhood through adolescence) and aim to understand how individual differences in vulnerability interact with environmental risk factors within the family, schools, and communities.   See our "Projects and Publications" page for a more in-depth description of all that we are working on.
