Research

I am a first year graduate student working toward my Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience in Professor Marcelo Febo’s laboratory. My general research interests include drugs of abuse and the various physiological and environmental factors involved in drug addiction. My current research examines the epigenetic mechanisms modulating sex differences in response to cocaine, and how those mechanisms may ultimately contribute to cocaine addiction.
