Research & PublicationsResearch Overview
I am interested in how stress, age, gender, and hormones affect immunity, inflammation, and health; also, the feasibility of different biomarkers (e.g., from blood, saliva, wound fluid) for predicting health outcomes.
Research Interests
- Effects of stress, age, sex & hormones on inflammation and wound healing (human, animal)
- Stress, inflammation, cognitive aging/decline, and dementia (human)
- Inflammation and mental health (e.g., depression, bipolar, PMDD) (human)
- Inflammatory biomarkers and stress as predictors of preterm birth (human)
- Salivary diagnostics and immunity (human)
- Effects of chronic stress and oxytocin on wound healing (animal)
