Adrián Medina is currently an M.P.H.-45 student in Health & Social Behavior at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Previously, they earned their Master's of Education (Ed.M.) in Human Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education where they focused on studying early childhood, neurodevelopment, and developmental psychopathology. Their research primarily focuses on the multifaceted effects of childhood trauma on neurodevelopmental and psychopathological outcomes from early childhood through young adulthood. This includes a deep interest in understanding the implications of psychiatric epidemiology and the role of behavioral epigenomics in unraveling the underlying mechanisms that contribute to these outcomes. Adrián currently assists the EMPOWER team, specifically within the Lone Star Project, as a Practicum Student at the Mental Health for All Lab.
