Karen Gamble Email & Phone Number

Dr. Karen Gamble is the F. Cleveland Kinney Endowed Chair in Geriatric Psychiatry and Vice Chair of Basic Research in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurobiology in the Heersink School of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Birmingham, AL. Dr. Gamble’s research program is funded largely by NIH and includes both basic and translational research. Basic research interests include how circadian rhythms in physiology, behavior, metabolism, and sleep-wake cycles are regulated in specific brain circuits and affected by nutrition (high salt/fat diets, meal timing), disease (obesity, neurodegeneration, addiction), and the environment. Translational projects address the impact of environmental circadian misalignment (e.g., shift work) or addiction (e.g., smoking and opioid use) on circadian rhythmicity of behavior and physiology.

Listed skills include Immunohistochemistry, Western Blotting, Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and 12 others.
