Fields of Research

Molecular basis of disease
Neurobiology and behavior
Neuromodulation

Research Summary

I study the specific genetic factors, receptor level signaling, and circuitry that governs learning, motivation, and maladaptive behaviors. 


Research Statement

I examine neural systems involved in motivation, reward, and aversion through neuromodulation, imaging, and pharmacological methods during natural and maladaptive learning. I aim to identify specific molecular and circuit level mechanisms to facilitate development of treatment for individuals with addiction and mood related disorders.
