Primary Area of Interest
Impact of stress on neurobehavioral development in preterm infants
Research Focus
The primary aim of this interdisciplinary program of research is toward understanding genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that contribute to preterm infants' biobehavioral stress responses to handling in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).  This research addresses a significant problem for neonates who undergo multiple exposures to events likely to produce stress and pain. The impact of these exposures on short and long-term neurobehavioral development is unknown, and a focus of this proposed research.
