Jeffrey R. Alberts studies behavioral development in animals, focusing on how young mammals (especially infant rodents) respond to their environment through processes like temperature regulation, huddling, smell-based preferences, and social recognition. His work also examines how factors such as maternal antibiotics, the gut microbiome, and the space environment affect development and behavior. More recent projects extend to human topics like parenting interventions in newborn intensive care and technology in elderly care.
