About
Marie Larose is a Senior Researcher and Postdoctoral Researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre and the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS), University of Turku, Finland. She is actively engaged in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of child development, family dynamics, and public health.
Research Interests: Her work focuses on maternal mental health, parenting interventions, child behavioral development, peer victimization, educational equity, and the biological and social impacts of early adversity. She employs advanced longitudinal and epidemiological methods to understand developmental trajectories and policy impacts.
The recent articles (2022–2024) reflect a strong trend in evaluating social policies (e.g., maternity leave), parenting programs, and structural determinants (e.g., education, neighborhood deprivation) on child and family outcomes. Her research integrates psychological, neuroendocrine, and public health perspectives, often using large-scale datasets and rigorous trial designs.
Scientific Recognition:
- Active contributor to high-impact journals in psychology, public health, and developmental science.
- Regular collaborator with leading international researchers in developmental psychopathology and child epidemiology.
Advising and Grants: While no formal students are listed, her role as a postdoctoral and senior researcher suggests involvement in mentoring junior researchers and contributing to grant-funded projects, particularly within the INVEST flagship program. Her research is likely supported by Finnish and international public health and research councils.
Labs and Teams: She is a core member of the INVEST Research Flagship Centre, a multidisciplinary research environment focused on early life determinants of health and development, and affiliated with TIAS, which supports advanced interdisciplinary research at the University of Turku.
