Research project studying the impact of early life and adolescent adversity on health and aging using a non-human primate model to identify sensitive periods for intervention.
Description
The proposed research tests how adverse and protective factors from before birth through adolescence and into early adulthood affect physical, molecular, neuroendocrine, and behavioral outcomes across adulthood and old age using a non-human primate model. The project aims to understand sensitive developmental periods and how adversity impacts health and aging, with the goal of informing interventions to mitigate chronic disease risk.
