The Parkland Outcomes after Prematurity Study research group focuses on the short- and long-term effects of preterm birth, to improve lifelong health outcomes for current and future patients.

We investigate how the immune system and gut microbiota influence brain function and behavior. We use molecular, behavioral, anatomical, and immunological approaches in the lab. In parallel, we collaborate with clinical groups to examine the role of inflammatory and gut-brain mediators in psychiatric illness.The Foster Lab research program represents a “best in class” translational research approach in an enriched, multidisciplinary environment. Foster's academic activities include a strong translational research program, a comprehensive teaching portfolio, science outreach, contribution to local, national, and international peer review and knowledge translation.

At the Fu Lab of human neuroscience we investigate the neural bases of cognitive control.
