Dario
Maestripieri holds joint faculty appointments in the Committee on
Human Development, the Department of Psychology, and the Committee
on Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago. He is the Director
of the Behavioral Biology Laboratory at the Institute for
Mind and Biology and a member of the Center for Early Childhood Research.
He is also an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Emory University
and an Affiliate Scientist at the Yerkes National Primate Research
Center in Atlanta. Dr. Maestripieri's
research interests focus on behavioral biology and behavioral development
from a comparative and evolutionary perspective. One line of research
uses nonhuman primate models of parenting and development to investigate
hormonal and other biological influences on maternal responsiveness,
the determinants of interindividual variability in parenting styles,
and the causes and consequences of infant abuse and neglect. Other
aspects of primate social behavior are also investigated. A second
line of research with Dario Maestripieri was awarded the 1991 National Award "B. Grassi" from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy) as the best young investigator in the field of Zoology, the 2000 American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in the area of Animal Learning and Behavior/Comparative Psychology, and a NIMH Career Development Award (2001-2006). |
