Antonia New, MD is one of the foremost investigators studying the neurobiology of Borderline Personality Disorder. Her research focus is on emotion dysregulation in borderline personality disorder, which underlies some of the interpersonal difficulties encountered in this disorder. Her work examines the neural circuitry associated with the control of aggression to understand the experience of emotion in this complex disorder

In addition, Dr. New is exploring individual differences in response to stress and trauma, focusing on how this relates to emotion regulation. She uses brain imaging techniques, genetic studies, and laboratory assessment of behavior to explore neural circuitry and mechanisms of treatment response in BPD.
