David McArthur, PhD MPH
Dr. David McArthur is a trauma epidemiologist focused on brain injuries. His research interests include understanding the complex relationship between exact causes of TBI, the course of hospitalization and treatment, genetic, neurochemical, physiological and environmental influences, and long-term behavioral and psychological recovery.
Anna Taylor, PhD
Dr. Anna Taylor is interested in understanding the role of neuroendocrine factors, both developmental and adult, in mediating adaptive responses to stress, and in the etiology of alcoholism. To this end, we use ontogenic studies to determine how developmental insults, such as prenatal alcohol exposure, affect CNS development and produce long-term neuroendocrine, neuroimmunological and nuerobehavioral consequences.
