Lauren K. White, PhD

Research Assistant Professor at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

I am an early career research faculty member at the Lifespan Brain Institute at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and University of Pennsylvania (Penn). My lab bridges the areas of developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience, using multiple levels of analyses (i.e., behavior, EEG, fMRI), to examine how a child’s complex exposome – the confluence of exposures and characteristics – increases or prevents risk for psychopathology, focusing on anxiety. The goal of my lab is to characterize how early exposures (i.e., perinatal depression, early life stress) and individual characteristics (e.g., threat sensitivity, executive function) shape the development of psychopathology risk in young children.

I completed my graduate training with Dr. Nathan Fox at the University of Maryland and my postdoctoral training with Dr. Daniel Pine at NIMH. Currently, I am one of the lead researchers in the CHOP-Penn Lifespan Brain Institute (LiBI) and its Intergenerational Exposome Program (IGNITE).
