    Collapse Overview
    I am currently working under Dr. Elyssa Margolis studying how pathological states such as chronic pain, stress and addiction alter motivational circuitry. My dissertation work under Dr. Jay McLaughlin at the University of Florida investigated how exposure to viral proteins during HIV infection such as the transactivator of transcription protein, Tat, contributes to HIV-associated comorbities including cognitive impairment, chronic pain, addiction and affective disorders. I utilize behavioral, anatomical and electrophysiological techniques to determine relevant circuitry underlying these maladaptive conditions, and collaborate with medicinal chemists to evaluate novel therapeutics to restore function.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
