Research Interests
I am a Developmental Psychobiologist who studies animals to gain insight into how
genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in health and
welfare across lifespan. My research is organized under three core areas. The first
evaluates how exposure to environmental toxins in diet, such as arsenic, are associated
with presentation of behavioral and physiological correlates of neurodevelopmental
disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. The second evaluates whether the manner
in which we house and care for laboratory animals affects their welfare, the validity
of the models for which they are used, and the generalizability and reproducibility
of experimental results derived from such use. The third is focused on the refinement
of existing as well as the development of novel behavioral phenotyping tasks for use
in health-related biomedical research and for assessments of animal welfare. As a
mentor and educator, I am committed to providing access to opportunities for groups
underrepresented in science. As an academic, I am committed to engaging in public
education and dialogue with the goal of contributing to local and broad efforts to
improve understanding and protect public interests in humane and ethical scientific
research.
Future Research Collaboration Interests
Understanding the relationship between chronic low-level exposures of trace metals
to metabolic dysfunction and other somatic and psychiatric disorders in clinical populations.
