Emma B is a Research Fellow in Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in mental health, trauma studies, and global health equity. Her work focuses on improving clinical trial reporting standards (e.g., SPIRIT/CONSORT-Outcomes guidelines), understanding intergenerational trauma transmission mechanisms, and addressing mental health disparities in underserved populations such as American Samoa and Rwanda. She has conducted mixed-methods research exploring family dynamics, cultural adaptation of mental health tools, and systemic barriers to adolescent mental health services in Pacific Islander communities. Her research integrates epidemiological analysis, qualitative community engagement, and policy advocacy to advance health equity initiatives.

Educational background includes prior contributions to studies on neurodevelopmental impacts of pandemics, emergency care optimization in remote regions, and pediatric health outcome standardization. She has led systematic reviews on outcome reporting transparency and intergenerational trauma mediators, contributing to evidence-based policy frameworks. Collaborates with international organizations to develop culturally responsive mental health interventions and improve healthcare service delivery in marginalized settings.

Key research areas: 1) Global mental health equity through culturally adapted interventions 2) Standardization of clinical trial outcome reporting 3) Mechanisms of trauma transmission across generations 4) Strengthening adolescent mental health systems in resource-limited regions 5) Policy analysis for health system resilience.
