Dr. Hipwell’s program of research includes prospective examination of postpartum mood and behavior on infant behavioral and emotional outcomes, and elucidation of developmental precursors and mechanisms of risk for affective symptoms across childhood and adolescence. This work, spanning 30 years, integrates multiple levels of development, both within individuals and across generations, with the goal of informing targets for early prevention of clinical and functional impairments in mothers and their offspring. Currently active studies include the influence of maternal preconception stress exposure on infant emotion regulation and neurodevelopment (UH3 OD023244); examination of infant neural markers of emotion reactivity and dysregulation in the context of caregiving (MH106570, MH115466), and a trial of prenatal omega-3 supplementation on maternal and infant health (HD058269, HD084586.
