Christopher P. Fagundes, PhD (he/him/his)

Professor
Rice University
Houston, Texas, United States

Dr. Fagundes uses theories and methods from clinical, social, and developmental health psychology to examine how close relationship quality, loss, and trauma impact the molecular and cellular processes associated with quality of life and diseases of older adulthood in diverse populations (e.g., cardiovascular disease, stroke, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease & related dementias). He uses attachment theory as an overarching theoretical framework to examine individual differences. Dr. Fagundes also develops and tests mechanism-focused interventions that target behavioral, psychological, and interpersonal processes underlying quality of life, age-related cognitive decline, and diseases of older adulthood. His grant portfolio includes longitudinal observational and clinical trial designs aimed at improving the health and well-being of widow(er)s, dementia family caregivers, and cognitively impaired older adults.
