Research Interests: General interests include opioids, stimulants, and club drugs, particularly their involvement in addiction and disease. The mechanisms of the initial stages of drug addiction and early-life determinants of adult drug dependence risk are of special interest. Neurotransmitter receptors mediate drug actions in the brain and they are targets for a variety of drugs that might be used to treat addiction. Studies in the laboratory focus on the regulation of receptors, the effects of early-life stress on later drug use, and the identification of novel therapies. I employ mainly behavioral tests of drug action.
