David Alan Hamburg

President Emeritus, Carnegie Corporation of New York. His research contributions dealt with biological responses and adaptive behavior in stressful circumstances, and with several aspects of human aggression and conflict resolution. He was concerned with the conjunction of biomedical and behavioral sciences -- first in the context of building an interdisciplinary scientific approach to psychiatric problems, then in research on the links of behavior and health as a major component in the contemporary burden of illness. In recent years, he concentrated on child and adolescent development.
