Biography
Adriene Beltz is a quantitative developmentalist who creates and implements time-indexed analyses to understand how sex hormones, neural processes, and social experiences jointly influence gender disparities in psychopathology and cognition across the lifespan. Her work is interdisciplinary, multimethod (e.g., using hormone assessments with genetic controls, daily diaries, cognitive testing, neuroimaging), and utilizes person-specific network modeling. The overarching aim of her research program is to understand the unique biopsychosocial interplay underlying an individual’s gendered behavior in order to ultimately inform personalized prevention, intervention, or treatment efforts that help each person realize their full potential.
