Frances A. Champagne completed graduate training in 2004 at McGill University, obtaining a M.Sc. in Psychiatry and a Ph.D in Neuroscience followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge, UK. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University and a Sackler Scientist with the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology at Columbia University. Dr. Champagne’s doctoral and postdoctoral research was focused on the neurobiology of maternal care and the epigenetic effects of mother-infant interactions. Studies in rodents suggest that the quality of maternal care received in infancy can lead to long-term changes in offspring gene expression and behavior. Dr. Champagne’s current and ongoing research explores the implications of these influences for the transmission of behavior across generations and the molecular mechanisms through which these effects are achieved. The interplay between genes and the environment is critical during the process of development and exploring the role of epigenetic mechanisms in linking experiences with developmental outcomes is an evolving field of study. Dr. Champagne uses rodent models to study epigenetics, neurobiology, and behavior and also collaborates with clinical researchers who would like to apply the study of epigenetics to better understand origins of variation in human behavior. In addition to investigating the modulating effects of mother-infant interactions, Dr. Champagne is currently exploring a broad array of social influences and environmental exposures. Dr. Champagne’s research is funded by NIH, NIEHS, and EPA and she is involved in a collaborative training grant at Columbia University on the social, ethical, and legal implications of genetics research. Dr. Champagne is also an instructor of a variety of courses at Columbia University, including: “The Developing Brain,” “Inheritance,” and “Neurobiology of Reproductive Behavior,” and is currently a Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Psychology.

He has consulted for a variety of companies, such as Bell Northern Research, Unisys Corporation, IBM Canada, and computer-game developer Silicon Knights. His first love, however, is in applying cognitive principles to the improvement of undergraduate education. In support of his introductory psychology course, he has been involved in the production of textbooks and ancillary materials such as CD-ROMs and websites for both students and instructors. Dr. Mitterer has published and lectured on undergraduate instruction throughout Canada and the United States. He is currently the co-author, along with Dennis Coon, of Introduction to Psychology: Gateways to Mind and Behavior, Psychology: Modules for Active Learning, and Psychology: A Journey, three introductory psychology textbooks published by Wadsworth/Cengage Learning.

Richard Straub is professor of psychology, former Associate Provost, Chair of Behavioral Sciences, and founding Director of the graduate program in Health Psychology at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. After receiving his Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Columbia University and serving as an NIMH fellow at the University of California, Irvine, Straub joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1979. Since then, he has focused on research in health psychology, especially mind-body issues in stress, cardiovascular reactivity, and the effects of exercise on psychological health. Straub’s research has been published in such journals as Health Psychology, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, and the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior.

A recipient of the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Teaching award and the Alumni Society’s Faculty Member of the Year award, Straub is extensively involved in undergraduate and graduate medical education. In addition to serving on the board of directors of the Southeast Michigan Consortium for Medical Education and lecturing regularly at area teaching hospitals, Straub has created an online learning management system for medical residency programs and authored a series of web-based modules for teaching core competencies in behavioral medicine.

Straub’s interest in enhancing student learning is further reflected in the study guides, instructor’s manuals, and critical thinking materials he has developed to accompany several leading psychology texts.

Straub’s professional devotion to healthy psychology dovetails with his personal devotion to fitness and good health. He has completed hundreds of road races and marathons (including multiple Boston Marathons and Ironman Triathlons) and is a nationally ranked triathlete.
