Dr. Dylan Gee

Biography

Dylan Gee is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Yale University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2015. His research focuses on understanding key neural circuits involved in typical and atypical development processes, especially in the context of mental health disorders. Dr. Gee's laboratory bridges clinical, developmental, and neuroscience approaches to delineate the biological state of the developing brain and to effectively treat mental illness. His program aims to characterize typical and atypical frontolimbic trajectories of development, elucidating how early environments, such as early-life stress, and genetic factors influence sensitive periods of neurodevelopment and the risk of psychopathology. A central focus of his work is the nature of emotional behavior related to the connections between limbic and prefrontal regions in children and adolescents, particularly in relation to anxiety and stress-related disorders.
