Biography

Nicole Beaulieu Perez is an Assistant Professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, focusing on advancing precision mental health care. Her research investigates the biological and social roots of depression in women with chronic conditions, especially those living with HIV. The interplay between HIV and depression often masks vital biomarkers, leading to overlooked health challenges and lower quality of life. Dr. Perez's interdisciplinary studies aim to improve the early clinical detection of depression by integrating insights from clinical psychiatry and advanced statistical methods. Currently, she leads the ReDiMMH Study, funded by the K08 award of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities, which explores the biological connections among poverty, depression, and metabolic health in women at risk for HIV. Dr. Perez has published extensively on the impacts of depression in chronic illness and the disparities present in mental health care. Additionally, she holds a PhD in Nursing Research and Theory Development from New York University, and has a decade of experience as a psychiatric nurse and nurse practitioner across various healthcare settings.
