RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My research focuses on how drugs (such as cannabis and alcohol) affect offspring brain and behavioral development. I will be researching various timepoints in development such as exposure during adolescence and young adulthood, maternal exposure to substances during pregnancy, and paternal exposure prior to conception. I also investigate the epigenetic effects of drug use and potential impacts on future generations.
