Lu Chen
Professor of Neurosurgery and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWhat distinguishes us humans from other animals is our ability to undergo complex behavior. The synapses are the structural connection between neurons that mediates the communication between neurons, which underlies our various cognitive function. My research program aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie synapse function during behavior in the developing and mature brain, and how synapse function is altered during mental retardation.

Lacey Chetcuti
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioDr. Chetcuti, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral academic researcher within Stanford University’s Autism and Developmental Disorders Research Program (https://med.stanford.edu/autism.html) within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She earned her doctoral degree from La Trobe University in Australia, specializing in developmental psychopathology and psychometrics. Dr. Chetcuti's research primarily focuses on advancing the measurement and characterization of individual differences in social-affective functioning in individuals with autism and other psychiatric conditions. Her work takes a lifespan perspective, acknowledging the dynamic nature of behavior across different life stages and its interaction with the environment. Dr. Chetcuti has actively collaborated with leading researchers in the United States, Europe, and Australia, contributing to the development of early developmental interventions to enhance functional social-affective outcomes while also analyzing individual difference factors that predict variable response to such approaches. Dr. Chetcuti possesses expertise in advanced statistical modeling techniques and is a core member of the newly-established Program for Psychometrics and Measurement-Based Care (https://med.stanford.edu/sppmc.html), dedicated to bridging the gap between the science of measurement development and clinical practice.

Christina F. Chick
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research examines the mechanistic contributions of sleep, cognition and affect to the onset and course of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in adolescence as a period during which changes in circadian rhythm, sleep architecture, and sleep behavior co-occur with neuroendocrine development, psychosocial changes, and the onset of many psychiatric disorders. Given that sleep is a highly treatable target, increasing our understanding of the specific contributions of sleep to psychiatric symptom onset may facilitate the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the course of illness.
