The questions we care about are too big for any one lab to answer alone. Ingrained within the DNA of EASE is the belief that collaborative work across labs has more impact than any single group could achieve. The collaborators below bring expertise, perspectives, and partnerships that make our work possible and more fun:
Biology of Adversity Project (Broad Institute)
Large-scale transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis across many stress and adversity models to yield novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets to treat stress-induced dysfunction.
Hartmann Lab (McLean Hospital)
Conserved behavioral and molecular signatures in the response to active social stress (chronic social defeat) and passive social stress (social isolation) models.
Buenrostro Lab (Harvard University)
How social isolation modifies adrenal gland physiology.
Smith Lab (Boston College)
The transcriptional impact of prenatal stress on placenta-fetal brain signaling
Lipton Lab (Scripps Research)
Novel discovery of MEF2 activators to treat neuropsychiatric disease
