Biography<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I graduated from Yale University in 2015 with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. As an undergraduate I worked in the lab of Dr. Col\u00f3n-Ramos. There I was part of a project that sought to elucidate the neural mechanisms of thermotaxis behavior in C. elegans<\/i><\/span>. I started BBSP in the fall of 2015 and joined the lab of Dr. Zoe McElligott in 2016.<\/span>

Research<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a graduate student in the McElligott lab I am interested in the neural circuits that underlie alcohol use and abuse. I am currently working on a project to elucidate the role of neurotensin neurons in the central amygdala in alcohol consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n
