The Stress Physiology Integrative Team (SPIT) laboratory was established in 2008, relocating to the University of Oregon Center for Translational Neuroscience in 2022 in order to strengthen the lab’s interdisciplinary neurobiological connections. The SPIT lab seeks to understand the development of psychopathology by enhancing our understanding of psychobiological risk factors and inter-related social contextual factors, especially in adolescents. This interdisciplinary research examines short-term responses to stressors such as laboratory challenges and changes that are not necessarily temporary but can consistently or even permanently change an individual’s biology.
