معرفی
Kevin Bath is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Barnard College and affiliated with Columbia University Irving Medical Center's New York State Psychiatric Institute. He directs the Rodent Behavioral Core facilities and leads research on early life adversity's impact on brain and behavioral development. His work employs rodent models to explore stress, neurodevelopmental trajectories, and evolutionary mechanisms.
Education:
- BS: Northern Michigan University
- PhD: Cornell University
- Postdoctoral Fellowship: Weill Cornell Medical College/Rockefeller University
- Previous Faculty Position: Brown University
Research Interests: Dr. Bath investigates how early life stress alters neural development through an evolutionary lens. Key areas include stress biology, sex differences in developmental outcomes, and the genetic mechanisms underlying behavioral adaptations. His lab uses mouse models to study social behavior networks, limbic systems, and cortical development.
Techniques: Behavioral assays, qPCR, histology, optogenetics, stem cell cultures, and Western blot analysis are central to his lab's methodology.
Lab & Collaborations: The lab's projects emphasize translational models of neuropsychiatric disorders. Recent activities include lab dinners, poster presentations, and collaborative events like the Neurobiology of Stress conference.
