I study parental caregiving as key element of early life experiences. Aspects of parental caregiving can turn on epigenetic processes leading to stress-related vulnerability. What features of caregiving can cause such changes and what are the effects on human development? Answers to these questions may reveal novel molecular targets for prevention and therapy of affective and cognitive disorders.
