Following the completion of her PhD with a focus on health psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Dr. Schreier spent three years at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Pediatrics. Her research addresses the long-term physiological consequences of exposure to adverse experiences, such as growing up in low SES environments or experiencing child maltreatment. She is focused on understanding the influences of such adverse experiences on markers of chronic inflammation and among adolescents. She is also interested in exploring the use of social interventions to actively improve physiological outcomes among adolescents.
