Lila Carino is an undergraduate student at Â鶹¾«Æ·ÊÓƵ, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Italian. She is a research assistant in the Self-Regulation, Early Experience, and Development (SEED) Lab, working with Dr. Irem Korucu. Her research interests focus on early brain and behavioral development, particularly how adverse life events during critical developmental periods—from prenatal stages through adulthood—become biologically embedded and influence later outcomes. She is particularly interested in examining how systemic and environmental inequities shape these processes in historically marginalized communities. Guided by her passion for developmental science, Lila is dedicated to pursuing research that supports positive developmental outcomes for all children.
