Biography

Bio

Karina Quevedo, PhD, LP, is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. She directs the Health and Emotions in Adolescent Trajectories laboratory (HEAT lab). Dr. Quevedo completed her doctoral graduate training at the University of Minnesota Institute of Child Development (ICD) and her postdoctoral T32 training at the University of Pittsburgh Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinics. She has received a BA in Psychology from the University of Havana, Cuba, and a MA in counseling psychology from the University of St. Thomas, MN. Dr. Quevedo’s research interests span typical and atypical pathways of emotional development; brain, physiological, and hormonal markers of child and adolescent adaptation; the long-term impact of adverse experience; and adolescent psychopathology. She has further interests in neuromodulation approaches to treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicide attempts in youth and adults. Dr. Quevedo trains graduate and undergraduate students as both emerging clinicians and scientists and mentors post-doctoral junior scientists.

Expertise

Research Summary

Our laboratory has collected functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) data while teens think about- and see themselves while in the scanner. We are currently finishing data processing on three neuroimaging tasks that tap into self-knowledge and social interaction as well as diffusion tension imaging. Graduate students interested in clinical neuroscience are welcome to contact us at queve001@umn.edu for collaboration in writing manuscripts, data analyses, and learning about how to use fMRI to study basic processes of emotion and social cognition.
