Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles
I received my Ph.D. in health psychology from the University of Iowa before completing post doctoral training in neuroimmunology and cancer biology at UCLA. My research focuses on biobehavioral mechanisms in cancer control, including associations among psychosocial factors, stress biology, and physical exercise. Using preclinical models of cancer and bioinformatic analysis of functional genomics, I test hypotheses on how stress physiology may affect progression of malignancy, particularly in regard to the sympathetic nervous system and during physical exercise. With an eye toward translation to clinical populations, I also collaborate with clinical investigators at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Donghao Lu
Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet
My research program is to study women’s mental health over the life course and to bridge the gap between Obstetrics/Gynecology and Psychiatry. Leveraging international large-scale population-based cohorts, I aim to understand the underlying biological mechanisms affecting women’s mental health and potential health consequences. My current main research topics are:
1) Risk factors and health consequences of reproductive mood disorders or sex-specific mental disorders, including:
° premenstrual disorders (premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder)
° perinatal depression (prenatal and postnatal depression)
° perimenopausal depression and menopausal symptoms
° other maternal mental disorders occurred during and after pregnancy
2) Sex disparity in mental health
Grants:
My research work is supported by the Swedish Research Council (VR), Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life, and Welfare (Forte), China Scholarship Council, and Karolinska Institutet Strategic Research Area in Epidemiology and Biostatistics (SFOepi), Faculty Board, Board of Doctoral Education, and Research Fund.
Contributions to Science:
1) Early life origins and risk factors of premenstrual disorders
Premenstrual disorders are typically diagnosed in women in their 20s/30s, but my research has shown that the symptoms often begin during adolescence. In fact, in a sample of young women in the US, I found that approximately 70% of premenstrual disorders had onset before the age of 20. However, little was known about the factors in early life that may predispose these women to the onset of premenstrual disorders during adolescence. Through my studies, I have identified several important risk factors for premenstrual disorders developed later in life, including early menarche or pubertal development, adverse childhood experiences, childhood overweight or obesity, and childhood asthma or food allergy. These findings have significantly contributed to the understanding of the early life origins of the pathophysiology of premenstrual disorders.
2) Health impact of premenstrual disorders
Although premenstrual symptoms are restricted to the days before menstruation, the chronic and cyclic condition may translate to a profound impact on the long-term quality of life. However, there is a lack of prospective data to understand the health consequences of premenstrual disorders. My research is the first to demonstrate that patients with premenstrual disorders are at increased risks of subsequent suicidal behavior, accidents, perinatal depression, early menopause and severe menopause symptoms, premature death, and eventually contribute to the sex gap in mental health. We also found that use of hormonal contraceptives, particularly combined products, may reduce the rates of suicidal behaviors among women with premenstrual disorders.
3) Health impact of perinatal depression
Maternity care typically prioritizes pregnancy outcomes, often sidelining women’s mental well-being. Perinatal depression affects as many as 10-20% of women giving birth worldwide. In contrast to the common belief that perinatal depression is self-resolving, many cases can last for months or even longer, particularly if left untreated. However, prospective data are lacking to illustrate whether women with perinatal depression may confront enduring health consequences. My research is among the first to demonstrate that patients with perinatal depression are at increased risks of subsequent suicidal behavior, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, and mortality.

Doug Nowacek’s activities represent a mixture of research tool development, coupled closely with the science driving the need for those tools, and the dissemination of resulting research to students at all levels as well as the broader society. Since starting graduate school and continuing to the present, Nowacek has pioneered several marine research tools and methods that, inter alia, seek to create knowledge as well as integrate and transfer it.
Some examples of these activities include: i) combined overhead video/audio for cetacean research that has been used for research and conservation; ii) multi-sensor acoustic tags that were pioneered when Nowacek was a graduate student for his project and have added significantly to the creation and transfer of knowledge; iii) Nowacek has worked to apply the tools and teachings of basic science to conservation driven research, including teaching innovative and experiential courses such as ‘the history and future of ocean energy’ and ‘ocean engineering’; iv) Nowacek’s commitment to STEM education extends to all levels of students, from the undergraduate and graduate students at Duke (including successfully mentoring undergraduates, masters and Ph.D. students through their degree requirements, advising numerous undergraduates in their independent study projects and guiding them through to preparing manuscripts for publication) to elementary and middle school students in the local school system where he routinely presents to and interacts with students, including organizing an ‘Antarctic mini-module’ with a local 7th grade science class; v) in 2015 Nowacek testified to Congress on the use of seismic airgun surveys and their potential impacts on marine life; and vi) Nowacek has served on the Western Gray Whale Advisory Panel, convened by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature for >10 years, and this work has resulted in numerous publications, recommendations, and practical guidance on industry/nature coexistence.
