DR. JOSHUA GRAY: CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY LAB

Dr. Gray’s lab is focused on two primary domains: 1) elucidating the genetic and neurobiological basis of impulsivity, personality, addiction, and other psychopathology; and 2) investigating organizational factors that impact well-being, readiness, and turnover in service members exhibiting harmful alcohol use. Psychopathology, including harmful alcohol use, is highly prevalent in the service members and negatively affects their well-being and readiness to serve. This research aims to uncover neurobiological mechanisms of psychopathology to target with novel treatment approaches and to improve care for service members exhibiting harmful alcohol use.
