Overview

Caroline Trumpff, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Medical Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. Dr. Trumpff received her PhD in Psychological Sciences from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, and pursed her doctoral research at the Belgian Scientific Institute of Public Health (Sciensano). After completing her postdoctoral training as a Herbert H. and Ruth S. Reiner Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University (Picard Lab) she joined the faculty in 2021. Dr. Trumpff's research aims to understand the interplay of psychological stress exposure and mitochondrial biology as a potential biological pathway linking psychosocial stress to physical and mental health trajectories across the lifespan. Her research has been funded by the NIH, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, and the Nathaniel Wharton Fund.
