Colleen M Doyle

Colleen M Doyle serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota, with active research output spanning 2015-2024 including recent publications in 2024.

Her research program integrates neurodevelopmental science with clinical psychiatry, focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder, prenatal programming effects on fetal development, pediatric anxiety antecedents, and mental health support needs following pregnancy loss. She employs computational approaches and longitudinal methodologies like the STRONG Women Study to investigate sex differences and early risk identification, with significant implications for neonatal care interventions and maternal mental health services.

Analysis of her 16 publications reveals consistent emphasis on translational research connecting biological mechanisms (e.g., neural networks, placental function) with clinical outcomes. Key thematic clusters include kangaroo care efficacy in NICUs, trauma-informed mental health support for pregnancy loss, and developmental phenotyping for early disorder detection, demonstrating interdisciplinary work bridging psychiatry, pediatrics, and reproductive health.
