Dr. Sage Hawn is an Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Old Dominion University. Her interdisciplinary program of research integrates multiple modalities to better understand how biological and psychosocial factors interact to influence responses to trauma, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and co-occurring conditions (e.g., substance use disorder). Dr. Hawn earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, where she conducted her F31-funded research examining biological and psychological processes underlying PTSD-alcohol use comorbidity. Through her F31 award, she received training in behavioral and statistical genetics at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics. She completed her T32-funded postdoctoral training at Boston University School of Medicine and the National Center for PTSD in Boston, MA, where she expanded her line of research through advanced training in statistical methods and the analysis of multiomic and neurobiological biomarkers. Her unique skillset in traumatic stress phenotyping, statistical genetics, and peripheral biomarkers of disease fosters an interdisciplinary approach to research that incorporates multiple approaches to investigate the downstream health effects of trauma-related comorbidity. The ultimate goal of her work is to identify factors that may predispose individuals to, or buffer against, trauma exposure and subsequent mental and physical health outcomes in order to inform early and integrative intervention efforts.
