Dr. Michelle Bosquet Enlow is a developmental and clinical psychologist conducting research at Boston Children's Hospital, affiliated with Psychiatry Research and Psychology Research units. Her work integrates biological, psychological, and social perspectives to understand early-life origins of mental health disorders.
- Research Focus: Intergenerational transmission of trauma, maternal mental health, infant stress regulation, anxiety risk, neurocognitive development
- Institutional Affiliation: Boston Children's Hospital
- Research Programs: HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD), Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)
Dr. Bosquet Enlow's research examines how maternal stress, trauma, and psychopathology affect child development from pregnancy through early childhood. She investigates pathways involving genetics, epigenetics, neurobiology, and socio-emotional processes, with a particular focus on anxiety disorders. Her studies span infant temperament, cortisol regulation, EEG biomarkers, telomere dynamics, and environmental exposures such as air pollution and chemical mixtures.
The most recent publications reveal a strong trend toward understanding early biomarkers of psychopathology, especially using neuroimaging (fNIRS, EEG), multi-omics, and machine learning. Her work emphasizes cumulative risk, sex differences, and moderating factors such as caregiving quality and resilience. She contributes to large-scale, multi-site cohort studies, highlighting her role in collaborative, translational research.
Dr. Bosquet Enlow has contributed to the development of clinical assessment tools including the Traumatic Events Screening Inventory-Parent Report Revised, Child Stress Disorders Checklist-Short Form, and acute stress disorder modules for children. While no formal awards are listed in the provided text, her extensive publication record in high-impact journals indicates significant scholarly recognition.
She mentors through research collaboration and tool development, though specific students are not named. Her work is supported by major longitudinal studies and likely involves grant funding, though specific grants are not detailed. Dr. Bosquet Enlow is part of the Biobehavioral Research Laboratory, where interdisciplinary teams study mind-body interactions in child development and mental health.
