Dr. Laura Glynn is a Professor and Associate Dean for Research at Crean College of Health and Behavioral Sciences, Chapman University. Her work bridges biological, psychosocial, and behavioral processes in human pregnancy, focusing on fetal and child development.
- Education: BA from University of California, Davis; MA and Ph.D. from University of California, San Diego
Her research spans three core domains: (1) Premature birth etiology, (2) Prenatal/postnatal hormone effects on maternal brain-behavior relationships, and (3) Early life influences on child development. She emphasizes predictability in early environments as a protective factor against adversity.
Recent publications highlight cross-species studies of early-life unpredictability, maternal cortisol trajectories, and tools like the QUIC-SP for assessing stress. Her work informs policy through developmental neuroscience, maternal-child health, and intergenerational transmission frameworks.
She collaborates extensively with researchers at University of California and Chapman University on projects involving maternal-infant dyads, neuroimaging, and microbiome analysis. Her lab explores fetal programming mechanisms, peripartum mental health, and interventions for high-risk populations.
