The Forty Lab
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY

The Forty Lab seeks to understand how early life experiences give rise to different phenotypes that alter risk and resilience to developing psychiatric disorders later in life. We investigate interactions between genes, environmental factors, sex, and development (G x E x S x D). Specifically, we examine how environmental experiences impact factors related to chromatin remodeling, the epigenome, and genomic changes to discern how social and addictive behaviors are impacted throughout the lifespan.
