His NIH-funded clinical research focuses on

functional neuroimaging investigations of cognitive-affective mechanisms in adults with anxiety disorders,
comparing the effects of mindfulness meditation and cognitive-behavioral therapy on brain-behavior correlates of emotional reactivity and regulation, and training children in family and elementary school settings in mindfulness skills to reduce anxiety and enhance compassion, self-esteem and quality of family interactions.
