Performed experiment procedures in research labs focusing on the neurobiological and neurobehavioral basis of alcohol addiction using rodent models. Techniques included gel electrophoresis, genotyping, western blotting, histology, operant behavior testing, optogenetics, and stereotaxic rodent surgery. From this research I co-authored 2 manuscripts and.

Fairfield, Connecticut

During this time I studied non-human primate vocalization behavior. Specifically, I evaluated the amplitude and attenuation of notes during the Lar Gibbon (Hylobates Lar) great call. Techniques including spectrogram analysis and observational behavior analysis. In a second project I studied the expression and localization of Beta4-Integrin subunits in.
