Melissa deCardi Hladek researches how self-efficacy, stress, and resilience affect the biology of aging and chronic disease progression. Part of this work was at the National Institutes of Health and involved the use of sweat as a biological data source. Hladek is a family nurse practitioner who has worked with homeless populations, in prison health, rural health, and, for the past eight years, with a primarily Spanish-speaking immigrant community in Washington, D.C.
