Director: Dr. Steven Beach Some of the research in our lab has been examining the role of particular genotypes in moderating environmental effects on behavioral outcomes. Recently we have shown that genotype moderates effects of parenting on child outcomes, and that genotype moderates the effects of intervention of both parent and child outcomes. We are also examining epigenetic processes and their relationship to behavioral outcomes. Selected Recent Publications Beach S.R. et al.
