Her studies examine endophenotypes linking biological mechanisms to behavior, with recent emphasis on intraindividual variability in genetic responses.

Publication Trends: Her 2009-2018 articles span Psychoneuroendocrinology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Physiology & Behavior, covering topics like

• Stress response mechanisms
• Menstrual cycle influences on physiology
• Genetic polymorphisms in emotional regulation
• Age-related differences in stress resilience
