About
Kathryn Lester is a researcher specializing in psychiatric genetics and psychological treatment response mechanisms. She has led/co-led multiple research projects focusing on gene expression changes during exposure therapy for anxiety disorders and contributed to studies on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) effectiveness in youth mental health.
- Primary investigator on projects exploring genetic predictors of CBT response in child anxiety disorders (2014-2016)
- Cofounded studies on genome-wide gene expression profiles linked to therapy outcomes
- Developed large-scale remote fear conditioning protocols via smartphone apps
Her work integrates behavioral interventions with molecular genetics, particularly examining anxiety disorders and depressive symptomatology. Recent studies highlight genetic influences on fear extinction and therapygenetic effects of serotonin transporters (5-HTTLPR).
