UNDERSTANDING MECHANISMS OF RISK AND RESILIENCE THROUGHOUT BRAIN & BEHAVIOR DEVELOPMENT
Home: Our Story
CHALLENGES THAT DRIVE US
-
To understand why some youths who grow up with developmental stress become suicidal, while others do not (resilient).
-
To timely identify those at risk for serious psychopathology and divert the developmental trajectory from risk to resilience.
QUESTIONS WE ASK
-
What are the mechanisms that drive variability in the development of brain and behavior?
-
How do environmental (E) exposures (e.g., trauma, neighborhood environment) interact among themselves (E X E), and with biological (e.g., genetic (G)) factors (G X E), to shape developmental trajectories of youth?
OUR VISION
-
Promote resilience and prevent suicide and serious psychiatric outcomes in youths.
OUR MISSION
-
Conduct impactful translational science aimed at reducing youth mental health burden.

OUR RESEARCH
In the BarziLab, we use multiple methods to understand variability in the development of brain and behavior.
We study how a myriad of environmental exposures (such as trauma and socioeconomic factors) dynamically interact among themselves, and with biological factors (such as genetic and epigenetic) to shape the development of brain and behavior.

OUR VALUES
We collect and analyze large human datasets.
We do collaborative interdisciplinary science.
We work with basic scientists to inform mechanistic gaps that can only be investigated in animal models.
