Understanding Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR)
The Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Laboratory, based at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), conducts research on the human response to traumatic stress. Our goal is to understand biological and psychological components of traumatic stress. We aim to contribute to better diagnostic tools, prevention strategies, and treatments for all people who suffer from chronic traumatic stress.
