Research Focus
Dr. Lauren Krupp's lab at NYU focuses on understanding how childhood adversities affect health outcomes in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly among communities that are often underrepresented in medical research. The lab works directly with patients from diverse backgrounds to develop culturally informed research tools and interventions aimed at improving quality of life for people living with MS. By addressing health disparities and fostering community engagement, the lab seeks to ensure that all individuals with MS can access better care and support.
