"Nate" Harnett is the Director of the Neurobiology of Affective and Traumatic Experiences Laboratory at McLean Hospital and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. His research program investigate the neurobiological mechanisms of susceptibility to trauma and stress-related disorders. The lab uses multimodal magnetic resonance imaging, psychophysiology, and behavioral testing to identify unique neural signatures of why some people go on to develop syndromes like PTSD and others do not. Further, the lab investigates if these signatures are generalizable and disentangles structural factors - like inequity and racism - that may contribute to ungeneralizable neural signatures of psychiatric disorders. Ultimately, the goal of the research program is to develop translatable neural targets to lessen the burden of trauma and stress-related disorders. Nate's research has been published in major academic journals including The American Journal of Psychiatry, JAMA Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, and Neuropsychopharmacology, and in popular media outlets such as PBS, TODAY, CNN, and NPR.He is currently the Co-Editor in Chief of Mental Health Science and his research has been funded by several public and private organizations including the National Institute of Mental Health, The Brain Behavioral Research Foundation, The Ford Foundation, and the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center.
