Dr. Erin Dunn, ScD
Associate Professor, Center for Genomic Medicine
Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Dunn will summarize her research team’s work to identify sensitive periods in development shaping risk for psychopathology in children. She will also discuss the role of epigenetics in the biological embedding of childhood adversity. In addition, Dr. Dunn will share her work on using children’s baby teeth as a new biomarker to record the occurrence and timing of early life stress more objectively.
