Profile
Christy A. Denckla, PhD, (PI) is assistant professor of social and behavioral sciences at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She leads the Population Wellness Lab, where her research group is unraveling the psychosocial, biological, and environmental factors that shape experiences of, and responses to, loss and trauma. Drawing on large, longitudinal, population-based cohorts, her team investigates mechanisms that shape resilience and vulnerability to psychopathology after trauma and loss. Under this umbrella, her ongoing projects focus on:
· Population mental health and bereavement
· Climate change, mental health, and grief
· Life-course posttraumatic psychopathology and resilience
· Neurocognition and psychiatric assessment in global settings
This work seeks to create a world where effective prevention and interventions at the population level support wellness from the cradle to the grave.

The Salata institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so.
