Judith K Morgan, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences and Department of Psychology. She directs the CARE Laboratory and holds adjunct appointments at Deakin University.
Her research focuses on children at familial risk for depression, integrating developmental psychology and affective neuroscience methodologies. Key interests include behavior inhibition, neural reward processing in early childhood, and maternal-child affective synchrony. Her work employs functional MRI to examine how early experiences shape brain development and contribute to psychopathology.
Morgan's publications frequently explore themes of intergenerational depression transmission, maternal socialization of emotion, and neurodevelopmental trajectories in high-risk populations. Her studies consistently bridge clinical observations with neurobiological mechanisms.
Honors include the NARSAD Young Investigator Award and Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation Fellowship. She currently leads NIH-funded projects investigating mother-infant biobehavioral synchrony and postpartum depression interventions.
