About the Biology of Trauma Initiative (BTI)

The guiding principle of BTI is that understanding more about the biological mechanisms of trauma “getting under the skin” will enable us to create better and more targeted interventions for individuals seeking treatment for psychological and physiological illnesses triggered by traumatic experiences. Through our work, we seek to find: (1) biological markers of trauma in cells and organ systems that reveal how trauma is encoded in the body, pointing to potential targets for future therapeutic development; (2) diagnostic biomarkers that provide evidence of trauma in the body and which change after treatment/interventions; (3) biomarkers that allow stratification of patients into different treatment groups based on the biological changes that have occurred, independent of the type or duration of the traumatic exposure; (4) predictive biomarkers that indicate the likelihood of future risk to health, allowing early intervention to prevent onset of further health conditions.
