Research Focus
Dr. Kelly Klump's lab at Michigan State University focuses on understanding how hormonal changes during perimenopause may elevate the risk of psychosis in women. By investigating the relationship between ovarian hormones and mental health symptoms, the lab aims to identify critical periods and mechanisms behind this heightened risk. The research aims to improve women's health interventions by providing insights into the effects of hormonal fluctuations during midlife.
