Our lab is interested in basic mechanisms, clinical translation, and technology development. We are open to new ideas, perspectives, models, and methodologies, and we seek to tailor the training environment to the individual’s interests, strengths, and areas of growth.

Current research projects include:

1. Selenium biology in Huntington's disease
2. Spatial mapping of elements in brain tissue
3. Biomarker discovery for a variety of biomedical applications
4. Combinatorial effects of psychiatric medications

Examples of other potential projects include:

1. Molecular and cellular subtyping of comorbid substance use and psychiatric disorders
2. Developing novel biosensors as tools for studying neurobiological mechanisms
3. Effects of environmental toxicants in neurodevelopmental disorders
4. Basic mechanisms and clinical questions related to bipolar disorder
