In this study, we want to learn about how a mother's experiences of social stress, such as discrimination, may affect the health of a mother and her young child. We also want to learn if the social support that mothers receive helps protect her children's immune and emotional health. Another question we are asking in this study is if there are some immune genes that turn on or off in young children. We want to learn what environmental influences may trigger these changes. We hope this information will give us more information about how to support the well-being of mothers and their young children.
Does your child have hearing loss in one ear, or single-sided deafness? If they are under the age of 3, they may be able to receive a cochlear implant as part of a research study to find out if early implantation helps children with single-sided deafness. If they are five, they may be able to help us study differences between children who receive a cochlear implant when they are little, children who do not receive a cochlear implant, and those with typical hearing.

The purpose of this study is to learn how patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) clear mucus based on their genetic mutation. We also want to learn if albuterol can help patients clear mucus from their airways better.
We want to learn about what contributes to body dissatisfaction and disordered eating in female athletes who take part in aesthetic sports at a professional, competitive, or collegiate level.

We are using an EEG to study cognitive processes during the estimation of the probability of future positive and negative life events. The EEG is placed on your scalp and records your electrical brain waves during a computer task. With this experiment, we hope to learn more about the neurophysiological processes of probability estimation.
We study how the immune system protects against viruses and bacteria without causing excessive harm to organs like the lungs, heart, and kidneys. We need a small amount of blood to study how immune cells ("white blood cells") turn on important proteins when they sense a bacteria or virus nearby.
In this study, we want to compare stress response and wellness in healthy volunteers and people with psychosis. This study involves questionnaires, measurement of how you process information, and other psychological research tasks.
