Research Summary
Molecular mechanisms underlying motivated behavior as it relates to addiction and depression.
Research Statement
In the Chavkin Lab, I’m interested in the behavioral and molecular outcomes of chronic stress. My current project focuses on consistent kappa opioid receptor (KOR) activation as a model for chronic stress, how it contributes to stress sensitization, and how KOR antagonism may lead to stress resilience.
