Gene Howard Brody (born May 15, 1950)[1] is Distinguished Research Professor of Human Development and Family Science in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia, where he has taught since 1976.[2] He is also the founder and director of the University of Georgia's Center for Family Research and a part-time research professor in the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University.[1][2] He is known for his research on the physiological and biological effects of psychological stress, poverty, and discrimination. He has also investigated how these effects can be moderated by other environmental variables, such as support from family members.[3][4] His research has shown, for example, that African American youth who are exposed to the stress of being raised in poverty are more likely to develop diabetes and increased allostatic load later in life.[5][6]
