Dr. Stacy Drury

Dr. Drury graduated from the University of Virginia, and received her MD/PhD from LSU. She is a Board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist at Tulane University. Throughout her career Dr. Drury have facilitated research that integrates basic, translational and population-based science to better understand the effects of life course experiences and environmental exposures on health and development. Her federally-funded grants regularly integrate epidemiology, epigenetics, neuroscience, social work, psychology, neurodevelopment, maternal-child health, and health disparities with research projects currently in the United States, Sierra Leone, Suriname, and Romania. Dr. Drury’s research defining the biological and physiologic pathways by which early life adversity is transmitted within and across generations has redefined the importance of a life course perspective in relation to the impact of adversity and violence on persistent health disparities.
