Dr. Nagel is a clinically trained pediatric neuropsychologist and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at Oregon Health & Science University, where she serves as the Senior Associate Vice President for Research, Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Psychiatry, and directs the Developmental Brain Imaging Laboratory. Dr. Nagel's lab has been conducting longitudinal neuroimaging studies for over 15 years, with aims toward identifying neurobiological markers of risk and resilience for psychopathology, including addiction and depression, and hopes of ultimately informing more targeted intervention and prevention efforts. She is a Principal Investigator on several federally-funded National multi-site projects toward that end, including the National Consortium on Alcohol & Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD).
Dr. Seghete is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Obstetrics & Gynecology at OHSU. She is also a clinical psychologist specializing in perinatal mental health. Her research focuses translational research aimed at developing preventive interventions during the perinatal (prenatal and postpartum) period. Dr. Seghete’s research spans from basic clinical neuroscience to randomized clinical trials, with a goal of using our understanding of neurobiological, cognitive, and emotional changes during the perinatal period to improve mental health care for individuals facing perinatal mental health challenges and substance use. Her research further focuses on understanding the impact of childhood adversity and trauma across the lifespan.
