Emily M. Cherenack, PhD, is a clinical psychologist with a primary appointment as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and a secondary appointment as Assistant Research Professor of Global Health in the Duke Global Health Institute. She is also an affiliate of the Duke Center for Global Mental Health. Dr. Cherenack earned her PhD in psychology from Duke University in 2021, which included a clinical internship in behavioral medicine at Brown University. Before joining the Duke faculty, she completed an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship (F32) at the University of Miami focused on psychoneuroimmunology. Her mixed-methods research integrates self-report measures, qualitative approaches, and biomarkers to examine how individuals cope with unchangeable stressors and explore how adaptive coping can mitigate the negative effects of stress on immune functioning, reproductive health, and cardiovascular health. Dr. Cherenack is particularly interested in how acceptance-based coping, self-compassion, and exercise can be used to promote mental and physical health. Her prior global health research has included a focus on menstrual health among adolescent girls in Tanzania and depression among men living with HIV in Brazil.
