Dr. Christine L. Larson's lab focuses on understanding how traumatic experiences affect urban Black Americans, particularly in relation to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The lab investigates neurobiological and socioenvironmental factors that can influence the risk of developing chronic distress after trauma. By using advanced techniques such as machine learning and neuroimaging, the research aims to identify predictors of PTSD to improve interventions and support for trauma survivors.

Dr. Han Joo Lee's lab at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee focuses on understanding and improving the brain's ability to inhibit inappropriate behaviors, particularly in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions. The lab is testing a new computerized training program designed to enhance this ability through a mix of gaming elements and behavioral monitoring. This research aims to develop effective treatments that can be personalized to individual needs, making therapy accessible and more widely applicable.
