Dr. Nicole Bush’s research focuses on the role that early-life psychosocial environments play in the health and disease trajectories across the lifespan. Investigating the ways in which contextual experiences of adversity become biologically embedded, changing children’s developing physiologic systems and shaping the development and mental health in childhood and later life, allows us to imagine interventions that can ameliorate social determinants of health inequity. Dr. Bush’s leadership in the lab is leading to discoveries that are urgently needed in society.
“If we optimize maternal and family well-being during the perinatal period, we can also optimize the health of offspring at birth and across their own development, having a two-generation impact.”
Dr. Nicole Bush describes the work she is doing at UCSF with support from LSPFF.
