My current research interests involve how resource insecurity and environmental injustice place individuals at risk for physiological dysregulation and subsequent poor health outcomes. Using a biocultural approach, I am currently investigating how structural disparities affect illness experience and quality of care, shape the allostatic load burden, and lead to compromised biologies in a rural indigenous community in Sonora, Mexico.
