The MUSC Youth Collaborative is a group of substance use and mental health professionals dedicated to fostering healthy development in young people through research and educational programs focused on adolescent and young adult substance use.

Dr. Lindsay Squeglia collaborated with researchers at The Matilda Centre to examine whether adolescents' sleep timing preferences, known as chronotype, may influence later mental health outcomes.

Using data from more than 7,400 youth in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, the team found that a later chronotype at ages 12-13 was associated with slightly greater externalizing symptoms and psychotic-like experiences at ages 13-14, but not with anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Alumni Spotlight 🌟

Meet Anna, who started her clinical psychology PhD at the University of Missouri under the mentorship of Dr. Denis McCarthy after leaving our team. She is now completing her clinical psychology internship at the Minneapolis VA!

Anna’s time with the MUSC Youth Collaborative opened her eyes to what a research career could look like, and the skills she built here followed her straight into grad school. Her dissertation was even conducted using ABCD study data!
Some favorite memories along the way: getting featured with the team at a Charleston RiverDogs game, plenty of coffee and lunch runs with fellow RAs (shoutout to Bon Banh Mi!), and traveling to an ABCD Train the Trainer meeting in San Diego.

Her advice for current team members: "This is a great time to explore what you like about clinical or research work and what types of programs are a good fit for you. I would encourage reaching out to current and previous MUSC Youth Collaborative members — they have a lot of great advice and resources to share."

Congratulations to Dr. Lindsay Squeglia on receiving the inaugural MUSC Excellence in Psychiatry Faculty Mentorship Award!

Mentorship has been a defining pillar of Dr. Squeglia’s career. As co-director of the MUSC Youth Collaborative, she has mentored more than 100 trainees, from high school students to junior faculty, tailoring her approach to support each mentee’s unique goals and stage of development.

Through programs like the Teen Science Ambassador Program and Neuroscience Education Program, Dr. Squeglia has expanded access to research experiences, professional development, and STEM career exploration for local students. Known for her accessibility, kindness, and support, she creates opportunities that help trainees build research independence, expand their professional networks, and achieve long-term career success.

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! 🎉

🎉 Happy ! 🎉

This week, we celebrate our two incredible postdocs, Dr. Maria Perica and Dr. Morgan Wilson, and all the amazing work they do!

National Postdoc Appreciation Week is an opportunity to honor the dedication, curiosity, innovation, and impact of postdoctoral scholars everywhere. This year is especially meaningful, as it marks 150 years of the postdoctoral position. Thank you for your hard work, passion, and commitment to advancing scientific discovery!

Alumni Spotlight 🌟
Meet Dr. Sam Margherio, now an Assistant Professor at Virginia Tech, where she works with community partners to develop school-based interventions for adolescent substance use!

Dr. Margherio’s time with the MUSC Youth Collaborative was hugely impactful — the experience and network she built here helped solidify her research focus on adolescent substance use. But just as important, it showed them what kind of lab and work environment she wanted to build for themselves: one that's collaborative, celebrates each other's wins, values open communication, prioritizes rigorous science, and genuinely cares about the communities it serves.

And of course, no time on the team would be complete without a little fun — their favorite memory? An office chair race around the hallway. 😄

⭐Fantastic job, Elizabeth, Amy, Jack, Lisi, Libby, and Jen!! ⭐
