Welcome to the Developmental Stress and Prevention Lab!
The Developmental Stress and Prevention Lab is a research group based in the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University. We are interested in how early experiences influence children’s behavioral, socioemotional, and neurobiological development. In our lab, we primarily focus on children from birth to five years old and their families.
