Our Research
TRLab Focus
Under the direction of Dr. Kate Brody Nooner, the Trauma & Resilience Lab examines how trauma and abuse impact child and adolescent development. Most trauma and abuse experienced by children is not random and is largely preventable. We hope that by exploring how trauma and abuse impact the brain and behavior, we can provide targeted strategies to prevent and curtail mental health problems.

The TRLab (Trauma & Resilience Lab) has a dynamic team of undergraduate and graduate students working with Dr. Nooner.
The purpose of the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) is to determine the effects of alcohol use on the developing adolescent brain and examine brain characteristics that predict alcohol use problems. It is funded by the NIH-NIAAA.
