Dr. Elliott Beaton
University of New Orleans
We use a multimodal research approach (eg. MRI, physiology, hormones, immunology) to understand how stress contributes to the etiopathology of mental illness in high-risk populations of children and adults.

Dr. Jeff Tasker
Tulane University
We use patch clamp electrophysiology, circuit analysis, molecular biology and behavioral approaches to study neuromodulation and neuroplasticity of synaptic circuits in the hypothalamus and amygdala that control physiological, behavioral and pathological responses to stress and trauma.
