Research area & interests

My lab is interested in the relations between the gut microbiota and human behavior. Specifically, we are interested in the role of the gut microbiota in shaping neurocognitive and mental health outcomes among children. Much of our work also incorporates components of the stress response systems, including the vagus nerve and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
