Welcome to the RAD Lab!

Curious about the brain? Help us learn more!

What is it like to participate in research?

We are a team of researchers dedicated to conducting research about adolescent mental health. Our research aims to advance understanding of the biology of mood disorders (e.g. depression and bipolar disorder) in adolescents, and to test how new investigational treatments may work to restore health in young people.

Current Research Opportunities

NAC - studying the antioxidant effects in the brain of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a nutritional supplement that may be helpful for self-harm.
Becoming Artists - examining how engagement in creative activities impacts mental health in adolescents.
Sexual Minority Study - studying mental health in sexual minorities.

Interested in Participating?

To be contacted about current resarch opportunities, please complete this brief (~2 minute) survey. After completing the survey, a study team member will be in contact to share information about the studies for which you may be eligible.
