Dr. Sage Hawn is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology and director of the Trauma, Resilience, and Comorbidities Lab (Hawn TRAC Lab) at Old Dominion University. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on understanding how biological (e.g., genetic) and psychosocial factors interact to influence responses to trauma, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid conditions. The ultimate goal of this work is to identify risk and protective factors that may predispose individuals to, or buffer against, trauma exposure and subsequent mental and physical health outcomes in order to inform early and integrative intervention efforts.
Dr. Hawn is the ADAA 2022 Donald F. Klein Early Career Investigator Awardee.
