Eric Stice, Research Scientist
SEA 5.126
Ph: (512) 232-4627
Email: stice@psy.utexas.edu

Dr. Stice is currently spending the majority of his time at Oregon Research Institute, where he manages a active research laboratory. Although he still manages a research laboratory at the University of Texas, he is no longer accepting new students at the UT Clinical Psychology Program.

Dr. Stice completed his graduate studies at Arizona State University, his clinical internship at the University of California at San Diego, and his postdoctoral training at Stanford University. His research program focuses on identifying the risk factors that predict onset of eating disorders, obesity, and depression. In addition, he also develops and evaluates prevention programs for these conditions. He is currently conducting an 8-year prospective risk factor study that is following 500 young females throughout adolescence, as well as three randomized prevention trials that are evaluating interventions that have been informed by risk factor research. He is also initiating a brain imaging study that is seeking to identify biological risk factors for development of eating pathology and obesity.
