Collaborative Labs

YCSC research labs work collaboratively across and outside of the Center and include work in neuroscience, molecular neurobiology, technology and innovation, early social cognition, and more.

Anderson Lab
Neurochemical analyses for the investigation of atypical development and the bioeffects of psychopharmacological agents.
Anxiety & Mood Disorder Program
Assessment and treatment of anxiety and mood disorders in young people focusing on psychological, behavioral, and brain mechanisms.
The Before and After Baby Lab (BABL)
Working to understand changes at the level of mind, brain, and behavior with becoming a parent.
Bloch Lab
Establishing the efficacy and safety of various pharmacological treatments using evidence-based methodologies including meta-analysis and clinical trials.
Cha Lab
The Cha Lab focuses on youth suicide risk and prevention. Our projects investigate pragmatic and impactful intersections across psychology, medicine, technology, and culture.
Chawarska Lab
Studying the early social and emotional development of children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Cho Lab
Using fMRI to understand the development of cognitive, emotional, and motivational brain circuits in adolescents with depression and adolescents with schizophrenia.
Cross-Cultural Consortium on Irritability (C3I)
A collaborative structure for researchers interested in cross-cultural aspects of irritability.
Crowley Lab
Working to understand the brain-based predictors of anxiety and depression in typical youth, clinical populations, and adolescent substance use risk through multimodal imaging and physiological assessment.
Developmental Electrophysiology Laboratory
A developmental laboratory, designed for, and experienced with typical and atypical populations from infancy through later adulthood, equipped to study brain electrical responses and peripheral psychophysiological indices of cognition, emotion and arousal.
The Education Collaboratory at Yale
Collaborative and innovative research partnerships and practices that advance equity and inclusivity through the science and practice of social and emotional learning.
Fernandez Lab
Studying genetic risk and neurobiological causes and consequences in early onset psychiatric conditions.
Gupta Lab
Investigating the neurogenetic basis of autism spectrum disorder with a focus on multimodal analyses of understudied populations.
The Human & Animal Integrated Research (HAIR) Lab
HAIR Lab faculty and staff collaborate with investigators both within and beyond Yale to understand how early life factors and individual differences impact health across the lifespan.
Hampson Lab
Treating and studying neuropsychiatric conditions using novel functional neuroimaging techniques including real-time fMRI neurofeedback and resting state functional connectivity.
Hoffman Lab
Investigating the function of genes associated with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders using a zebrafish system.

Multi-modal Imaging, Neuroinformatics, & Data Science (MINDS) Laboratory
Conducting state-of-the-art data science using human neuroimaging data.
Sukhodolsky Lab
Conducting clinical and translational research on neural mechanisms and effectiveness of novel cognitive, behavioral, and neuroscience-based interventions for autism spectrum disorder, pediatric irritability, and Tourette Syndrome.
Stover Lab: Fathers for Change (F4C) and Family Violence Related Studies
Examining etiology of family violence and development of best practice interventions to stop the cycle of violence.
Vaccarino Lab
Using human stem cells to recreate brain development in a dish for any given person, with the aim of discovering person-to-person differences in brain biology and understand the origin of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Ventola Lab
Providing Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) to children with ASD and investigating biological markers of treatment response.
YCSC Affective Youth (YAY) Lab
Working to understand the neural mechanisms of irritability and emotion dysregulation.
Yale Collaborative for International Early Childhood & Youth Development (Co-LEaD)
Working across countries and disciplines to promote early childhood and youth development research, practice, and policies in the global context.
