🔥🔥My new lab has a new Postdoc position, exploring how genetic factors and environmental factors (e.g., early life stress) influence brain development, child psychopathology, and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism) based on neuroimaging. Please check uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/194...

🔥🧠Excited to announce that I am recruiting PhD students this fall. Our lab uses neuroimaging (MRI) and computational modeling to study the mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders, bridging genetic factor, brain circuitry, early life stress, and psychopathology. Please feel free to DM me.

👍👍Our new paper is featured on the cover of the American Journal of Psychiatry in August! In this study, we explored the contribution of copy number variants to child psychopathology and cognitive development. Thanks to all co-authors!!

Higher CNV risk scores were significantly correlated with greater attention problems and cognitive impairment across multiple domains (fluid intelligence, attention, working memory, flexible thinking, and processing speed).

Individuals carrying CNVs previously associated with neurodevelopmental disorders exhibited greater impairment in social functioning and cognitive performance across fluid intelligence, working memory, and processing speed.
