Using fMRI to understand the development of cognitive, emotional, and motivational brain circuits in adolescents with depression and adolescents with schizophrenia.

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.

Studying genetic risk and neurobiological causes and consequences in early onset psychiatric conditions.

Investigating the neurogenetic basis of autism spectrum disorder with a focus on multimodal analyses of understudied populations.
