Areas of Interest
The goal of the Sen laboratory is to shed light on how human genetic variation and stress interact to create the pathophysiological architecture underlying major depression.
Studying the interaction of genes and stress in depression is challenging because it is difficult to predict the onset of stressful situations, and because the type of stress encountered varies widely between individuals. To counter these barriers, the Sen lab uses the medical internship – the first year of professional physician training – as a model for studying stress. They utilize focused genotype arrays within the sample of interns to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants involved in moderating the relationship between stress and depression. They also use the medical internship model to investigate the effects of stress on epigenetic patterns, serum protein levels, endothelial and neural function.
