Introducing our new developmental psychologist, Professor Lauren Philbrook.
Lauren Philbrook, assistant professor of psychology
If you are stressed and sleepless, Dr. Philbrook has research for you! She studies relationships between sleep and physiological regulation, mental and physical health, and academic outcomes. Stress generated by family conflict, socioeconomic status, and/or race and ethnicity are of special interest. Her research probes how better sleep and physiological regulation benefit children experiencing stress.
