Dr. Mancuso's research integrates immunological and psychological frameworks, with primary focus on emotion-immune interactions (anger, shame, guilt), stress physiology during pregnancy, and ethnic disparities in birth outcomes. Her groundbreaking work demonstrates how corticotrophin-releasing hormone mediates anxiety-pregnancy relationships leading to preterm delivery. Current investigations examine psychoneuroimmunological impacts of affective disorders in pregnancy and cybersecurity behavior through psychosocial lenses.
