My scientific research interests span from cellular neuroscience to behavior. My previous work focused on how hormones during adolescence shape the brain and social behavior. I am continuing to investigate the adolescent development of social behaviors and the brain, shifting my focus slightly to how experiences shape the adolescent brain and behavior. One line of my research is looking at the effects of social interactions on neuronal function in the prefrontal cortex across adolescent development in rodents. Another line of rodent research is investigating how postpartum maternal stress affects anxiety behavior and brain development of the offspring during adolescence and adulthood. My lab uses a variety of neuroscience research techniques such as immunohistochemistry, microscopy, and behavioral observation and quantification.
