Professor Luis Parra was selected as a UC Davis CAMPOS Fellow. Professor Parra’s research centers on the effects of identity-based discrimination on the identity development, neurobiological stress regulation, and psychological health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people of color (LGBTA POC) across adolescence and emerging adulthood. 

In a first-of-its-kind study appearing in Nature Communications, Professor Stolzenberg led an interdisciplinary team from the university’s Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics (IPN) to study effects of psilocybin in mouse mothers and found that the drug amplified anxiety and depressive-like symptoms associated with perinatal mood disorders — mental health conditions that can arise during or after pregnancy.

Professor Andrew Fox was awarded the Society of Biological Psychiatry's 2025 AE Bennett Clinical/Translational Research Award.

The Bennett Award is given to an early-career investigator who has made outstanding contributions in clinical or translational research in psychiatry. 

Professor Fox's research focuses on the neurobiology of affective style. His lab studies humans and nonhuman primates using methods such as high throughput computing, neuroimaging, RNA-sequencing, cellphone-based experience sampling, and chemogenetics.
