Rachel Koffer

Rachel studies the pathways from everyday stressors (e.g., interpersonal disagreements, deadlines) to long-term health and well-being across adulthood. She is interested in methodological issues related to studying these processes at multiple time scales, and in testing model-based operationalizations of stress process theory. In the Pathways program, she is interested in the biological pathways (e.g., corticosteroids, telomere length) that link acute and chronic psychosocial stressors to later life health.
