Rebecca Knickmeyer
About
Dr. Knickmeyer is committed to undertaking cutting- edge research that will contribute to theoretical advances in our understanding of neurodevelopment disorders through the integration of pediatric neuroimaging with genetic, behavioral, and endocrine methodologies. In particular, Dr. Knickmeyer’s research addresses the mechanisms which modulate the differential vulnerability to and expression of neurodevelopment disorders in each sex and the role which common and rare genetic variation plays in explaining individual differences in neurodevelopmental trajectories across the critical transition period of infancy and early childhood. She is also using gnotobiotic mice, human clinical samples, neuroimaging, and neurobehavioral techniques to understand how gut microbes contribute to anxiety, depression, and autism spectrum conditions.
