Erin Kinnally, Assistant Research Psychologist at the California National Primate Research Center
Exploring how environment influences behavior and health through genetic expression
|
|
|
Erin Kinnally, Ph.D., has dedicated her career to understanding how early-life experiences shape how we respond to stress and influence our risk for particular disorders later in life. “Two decades ago we thought that mapping the genetic sequence would unlock all of the mysteries of who we are, but it turns out that the structure of our genes doesn’t tell us everything about our health, and certainly doesn’t tell us everything about why our minds work the way they do,” she says.
