The Center is home to many research projects, including studies that: utilize neuroimaging techniques to investigate the neurobiology of depression; implement and evaluate novel prevention and treatment programs for depressed adolescents; test the role of early adversities (e.g., maltreatment, trauma) and genetic variance in increasing the risk for depression and anxiety; explore psychological and neurobiological traits associated with resilience; and build computational models to study neural function in severe mental illnesses. Our goal is to identify promising targets for prevention and treatment.
