Dr. Juster’s research focuses on stress and resilience using a sex and gender lens. His research focuses on teasing apart the role of biological sex and socio-cultural gender in explaining pathways that render us vulnerable or resilient to stress-related disease. Dr. Juster has become an expert in the measurement of allostatic load, the “wear and tear” of chronic stress and unhealthy behaviors first developed by the great late Bruce McEwen. In much of Dr. Juster’s current funded research, he and his team of 20 students and staff aim to better understand how stigma, stress, and strain influence the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, and queer individuals. His research program has also included studying allostatic load among many other vulnerable groups across lifespan development with a particular focus on using allostatic load as a marker of accelerated aging. Along with international collaborators, Dr. Juster and his team have contributed 115 peer-reviewed publications in a broad array of transdisciplinary journals spanning the social sciences to neuroendocrinology.
