Research
Broadly, I am interested in developmental and biochemical variables that predict behavioral pathologies in and resulting from substance use disorders. I have worked with several rodent substance use disorder models, ranging from nicotine self-administration, chronic stress-induced alcohol seeking, and most recently biochemical features of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Our lab incorporates wet bench and behvaioral techniques to make associations between executive dysfunction and biochemical correlates in the context of perinatal alcohol exposure in rats.
