Current Position:
Associate Professor of Neuroscience; Director, Neuroscience SOVM; University of Pennsylvania
Research Interests/Grant support:
Our research focuses on developing mouse models of increased stress sensitivity related to sex-biased neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric diseases. We have initiated multiple lines of investigation that will provide insight into the timing and sex specificity of early life events promoting disease susceptibility, the maturation of central stress pathways during key periods of development, and the epigenetic mechanisms involved in long-term effects following stress exposure.
