​The Stress and Affective Neuroscience (SAN) Lab is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the interplay between stress, affective control, and decision-making. Our research explores how environmental and neurobiological factors shape resilience and vulnerability to stress, with a focus on identifying mechanisms that can be targeted to improve mental health outcomes. Through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies, SAN Lab aims to translate basic research discoveries into actionable insights for interventions that enhance emotional well-being and adaptive functioning.
