Kate B Nooner
Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

Dr. Kate Brody Nooner, PhD, ABPP, has NIH-funded research and collaborates with Dr. David Goldston at Duke Psychiatry to conduct research as part of the National Consortium on Alcohol & Neurodevelopment in Adolescence. She is also a tenured full Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Current Research Interests

My research at focuses on reducing health disparities in underserved and minoritized youth, particularly following childhood trauma and abuse. I explore neurocognitive mechanisms pertaining to the prevention and treatment of post-traumatic stress and problematic substance use in adolescents. I use MRI, EEG, neurocognitive, and phenotypic assessments to evaluate and improve mental health across development.
