Assist in various projects and methods in order to improve the understanding of addiction. Aid graduate students in identifying possible proteins that create addiction in the hypothalamus in the mice population. Particular research is focused on the reward circuitry in the brain in order to better understand the importance of dopamine in alcohol addiction. My focus is on areas such as the Nucleus Accumbens and the Ventral Tegmental Area and their connection with other areas of the brain.
