She directs the MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) national study and its Japanese counterpart MIDJA, focusing on how psychological well-being is shaped by social structural factors and linked to biological health markers. Her multidisciplinary work investigates resilience pathways connecting social experiences, psychological functioning, and neurobiological processes.
