URECA 2025

This year, several of our Research Assistants, alongside Dr. Perlman and Study Coordinator Alexandria, took the lead on two posters for the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities Symposium (URECA)! We are incredibly proud of our students, and thank you to everyone who has supported us along this journey!

Big-Five Personality Traits And Parent-Child Agreement on Adolescent Depression

This poster analyzed the correlation between adolescent self-reports and parent reports on their child's depressive symptoms. It was found that there is a high discrepancy between these reports, with parents often under-reporting depression in their children.

Co-authored by Isha, Skyla, Mia, Devi, Dr. Perlman, and Alexandria.

Pediatric Imaging: Measuring Neuromelanin Trajectories (PIGMENT)

This poster showcased demographic and introductory information about PIGMENT, aiming to increase lab engagement and showcase the work we are doing and what the future holds!

Co-authored by Alisha, Emily, Grayson, Bree, Dr. Perlman, and Alexandria.
