Thrilled to share our new publication in Nature Mental Health! We took a longitudinal, dynamic and transdiagnostic approach to define the r factor for post-trauma resilience that explains >50% of variance in mental wellbeing 6-months after #trauma (1/9) – nature.com/articles/s4422…

Data highlight how racial discrimination may increase involvement of networks involved with rumination & internalization of emotion, & suggest associations between racial discrimination–related neural connectivity alterations & accelerated cellular aging. ja.ma/4b1xMME

Y'all, I am so proud of this paper! ⬇️ Where we live can influence our likelihood of developing PTSD! But research on resilience after trauma has often focused on individual 🧍 factors and overlooked influential neighborhood 📷factors that may help mitigate the PTSD development

Here is an easy to understand summary of a study we conducted, which found key differences in the brains of people without PTSD, people with classic PTSD, and people with the dissociative subtype of PTSD. See the results here! 1/3 #PTSD #Research #Psychology #Trauma #Neuroscience

Excited to share that our new paper in Nature Genetics! Huge thanks to Hailiang Huang and Tian Ge for supervising this project and to Broad Institute, CGM at MGH and PGC Consortium for supporting the research. rdcu.be/dR0sF

I am delighted to announce that Jessica Mauer’s first paper with me is up on biorxiv! Their work thoroughly evaluates features affecting local ancestry inference across many (I mean many) simulated demographic and data models to advise on best practices.

Excited to share that the PGC-PTSD #Epigenetics group's new paper has been accepted for publication! 🎉 The study developed a blood-based DNA #methylation risk score to predict #PTSD 🧬 Check out the preprint here and stay tuned for the accepted paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38410438/

New AURORA study reveals that men may be more vulnerable to #PTSD after #trauma, with risk factors like pre-existing anxiety and dissociation showing stronger associations with PTSD severity in men than women 🧠 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38775091/
