Research Interests

The major focus of my research program is in developmental psychobiology, and specifically examines the behavioral neurobiology of social attachment in rhesus monkeys. This includes study of the effects of variation in social rearing conditions on behavior, cognitive ability, and physiological regulation in primates.
