Her researchfocuses on mood and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, withparticular interest in relationships among gender, social impairment, and neurobiologicalfunctioning.Amanda McMillan, B.A., is a medical student who plans to specialize in childpsychiatry. Prior to entering medical school, she coordinated research programsat Emory University for Dr. Elaine Walker in studies with adolescents at risk forpsychotic disorders.Michael J. Meaney, Ph.D., is a James McGill Professor of Medicine at DouglasHospital Research Centre of McGill University. He is the Director of the MaternalAdversity, Vulnerability and Neurodevelopment Project and of the DevelopmentalNeuroendocrinology Laboratory of McGill University. His primaryresearch interest is on the effects of early experience on gene expression and development.His research is multidisciplinary and includes studies of behavior andphysiology, molecular biology, and genetics. The primary objective of these studiesis to define the processes that govern gene-environment interactions.Vijay Mittal, M.A., is a graduate student in the Clinical Psychology program atEmory University. His dissertation research examines the longitudinal progressionof motor abnormalities and prodromal symptomatology in adolescents at riskfor psychotic disorders.
