  • Treatments for addiction: development of more effective therapies, determine which individuals are most vulnerable to addiction, and determine which individuals might benefit most from a given treatment. I have a long track record of NIH funding and publications related to alcohol abuse. Specifically, I am interested in combining neuroimaging, epigenetic, pharmacological, and clinical perspectives to develop more effective intervention and preventions strategies.
