As a postdoc associated with UCSD and Scripps Research, I am investigating individual differences in alcohol use disorder-related phenotypes in genetically diverse rats. These studies involve completing intensive behavioral phenotype in rats before and after inducing ethanol dependence, as well as collecting tissue at the conclusion of the study and.

Completed a doctoral degree in neuroscience while studying stimulant use disorder-like phenotypes in rats. These studies investigated high levels of compulsive-like drug taking in rats that self-administered cocaine and synthetic cathinones. I applied dose-addition analyses to study complex drug interactions in vivo. I also evaluated compounds with varying.

Conducted in vivo microdialysis and radiotelemetry experiments in freely-moving mice to measure neurotransmitter levels after drug treatment. Ran operant behavior experiments to study the effects of nicotine. Research resulted in 4 publications, including one co-first author publication.

Completed a senior honors thesis in Dr Klaus Miczek's laboratory that studied the effects of social defeat stress in male mice on accumbal dopamine using in vivo microdialysis, cocaine self-administration, and individual behavioral differences in coping styles by analyzing video recordings. Resulted in a writing a thorough thesis paper and data for a.

Conducted experiments using social defeat stress on female rats and collected data through saccharin testing, vaginal smears and weight measurements. Also read a relevant research articles and drafted a procedural paper.

Created an online sperm atlas database using photographs of specimen taken on a microscope. Observed and assisted in other tasks, including dissecting testes, vaginal cytology andembryonic stem cell research.
