Bio

Dr. Paulsen’s research interests are directed towards improving neurometabolic outcomes for infants exposed to nutritional stress during the perinatal period. She uses pre-clinical models to study how stress changes the development of the hypothalamus causing chronic disease later in life. Ultimately, Dr. Paulsen would like to identify clinical biomarkers that predict early risk for chronic neurometabolic disease and develop perinatal neuroprotective interventions that prevent or lessen this risk.
