Danruo is a first-year doctoral student in the Developmental Science track in ICD working with Dr. Megan Gunnar and Dr. Kathleen Thomas. Her research interests lie in stress neurobiology through childhood and adolescence. She is particularly interested in how early life adversity and environmental toxins shape children and adolescents’ central stress response system (e.g. HPA Axis), and how they might affect children’s brain development as well as their mental and physical health in the long run.
