Current Projects/Studies
Dr. Uban’s research utilizes multi-modal neuroimaging and salivary biosciences to non-invasively examine brain-hormone relationships in children and adolescents. Specifically, her research focuses on the impact of prenatal exposure to alcohol on brain and body outcomes, as well as cognitive and behavior correlates. She aims to improve societal support for those impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder via neuroendocrine and electromagnetic interventions.
Education
Dr. Uban received her PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia and completed her Post-doctoral training at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
