🔥🔥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.

🔥🔥Thrilled to share that our recent paper in American Journal of Psychiatry on a CNV framework for understanding child psychopathology has been highlighted in a commentary by Drs. Boen Rune and Bearden Carrie E.. Grateful for this thoughtful engagement! psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/...

Finally out!!! Our new study described the CNV landscape of the ABCD study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. We identified its associations with dimensions of chid psychopathology and cognitive development. Thanks, Aaron, Joe and all co-authors. psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/...

👍👍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!! psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10....

💥🧠🧬Finally out!! Our new paper on the overlapping genetic basis of brain structures and psychiatric disorders has been published in Nature Mental Health. The full list of shared genetic loci is also available online. Thank you so much, Aaron and all co-authors. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

👇👇🧠🧬My new lab is hiring an imaging-genetics Postdoc, exploring how genetic factors (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics) and environmental factors (e.g., early life stress) influence brain development, psychopathology, and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism). I am happy to take any questions.

I’m excited to share that I will be joining the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Fall 2025. I really appreciate the invaluable support and guidance from my mentors, including Aaron, Cldye, Simon, Ruben, and Mary.

Recently in @pnas.org we reported first spatial transcriptomic analyses of human brain regions supporting language. Genes active in excitatory neurons & with differing laminar expression in frontal vs temporal cortex showed association with white-matter connectivity & language-related conditions...🧪
