“I am most interested in drug discovery research as it relates to any disease but particularly cancer. I would like to translate my research in vivo to better understand the physiological impact on the disease and how the drug can be improved to reach clinical trials. I have an interest in working towards a certificate in translational medicine too.”

“I am interested in researching the factors that underlie the transition from substance use to abuse, particularly in relation to alcohol. The idea that many people in their lifetimes will consume alcohol but only a relatively small subset of them will later develop problems with alcohol has been a driving question. I aim to study this through the use of rodent behavioral models and in vivo and ex vivo techniques.”
