“Broadly, I am interested in the neurobiological mechanisms that differentiate normal and dysregulated circuit function in neurological conditions like substance use disorders and neurodegenerative disease. Specifically, I would like to better understand how intrinsic factors and environmental stressors interact to drive pathological processes in the above conditions.”
