Dr. Kristin Valentino's lab focuses on innovative approaches to reduce suicidal behaviors, especially among adolescents. The lab explores the use of noninvasive technologies, like transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) and smartphone apps, to provide effective mental health support. Through their research, they aim to target emotional dysregulation and social isolation - two key factors that contribute to suicide risk in young people.

Edward Mark Cummings' lab focuses on developing and evaluating evidence-based family support programs, particularly for families affected by conflict and political violence. The lab's main project, Promoting Positive Family Futures (PPFF), aims to improve the well-being of children and parents in regions facing chronic adversity, such as Palestine. By employing a randomized clinical trial design, the lab seeks to test the efficacy of their interventions and their impacts on family dynamics and adolescent emotional health.

Dr. Laura E. Miller-Graff leads a research lab focused on improving mental health and child welfare through innovative intervention programs. Her lab conducts studies in high-need areas, particularly examining how maternal mental health can affect child maltreatment and intergenerational outcomes. The aim is to develop evidence-based approaches that can be adapted for use in low-resource settings like Peru, ultimately impacting both local and global public health.
