Congratulations to Katie McLaughlin, who has been selected as a recipient of the 2016 Gerald R. Klerman Award. This award is given for outstanding clinical research achievement by a Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Young Investigator. Katie McLaughlin just received funding from the Massachusetts General Hospital/National Institutes of Health for her work on mechanisms underlying racial/ethnic disparities in mental disorders. Congratulations! Kristin Olson and Katie McLaughlin’s study on the mental health of transgender children has been published in the journal Pediatrics and has received wide spread media coverage in UW Today, the Seattle Times, the Guardian, and the Associated Press, to name a few. The UW Homepage just posted a story about Victoria Chambers and her research on trauma and the effects on children. Victoria Chambers was a Mary Gates Innovation Scholar who is currently being mentored by Katie McLaughlin Congratulations to Kate McLaughlin who just received the 2016 APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology! Kate McLaughlin received a nearly three million dollar National Institutes of Health RO1 award for her research titled “Deprivation and Threat: Dimensions of Early Experience and Neural Development.” This is the second active RO1 award in Kate’s lab. Congratulations Kate! Congratulations to Katie McLaughlin, who was recently awarded the Jacobs Foundation Early Career Research Fellowship 2016-2018. Katie McLaughlin was recognized with the One Mind Institute's AIM Rising Star Research Award. UW Today covered Katie McLaughlin’s research examining the regulation of neural responses to emotional information in children exposed to maltreatment. Kate McLaughlin’s work suggests that childhood adversity is a bigger risk factor for heart disease and type 2 diabetes than nearly anything else. Kate McLaughlin shows early environment has a lasting impact on stress response systems. Congratulations to Charlotte Heleniak, fourth year graduate student of Katie McLaughlin!
