Living with chronic stress: What does life look like and how does that impact health?

Presented by Alexandra Crosswell, PhD

Assistant Professor 

Center for Health and Community 

University of California, San Francisco 

Alexandra Crosswell's program of research investigates the psychological and biological mechanisms linking chronic stress to disease development in adults, and how mind-body interventions can target those pathways. To examine these relationships she uses a range of methodologies, including prospective observational studies, daily diary studies, experimental design, and mechanism-focused interventions. In addition to her own program of research, she serves as the Executive Director of the NIA-funded Stress Measurement Network which is working to enhance the precision of psychosocial stress measurement in epidemiological research studies. She is an Assistant Professor at the Center for Health and Community at UCSF. She obtained her PhD in Health Psychology from UCLA and her BA from Duke University.
