Emily is primarily interested in how individual differences translate into susceptibility factors for psychiatric disease. She currently studies risk factors for mood and anxiety disorders, such as genetic variation and exposure to life stressors, and how they impact peripheral physiology, endocrine and immune responding, and brain function during emotional challenge paradigms. She also studies how these risk factors influence emotion regulation and cognitive processing of affective information. Emily co-directs the SAVOR project (“Sources of Affective Vulnerability or Resilience”): http://www-psych.stanford.edu/~savor/
