Hello!

I’m a research assistant professor in Psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). My research uses a human laboratory paradigm to inform pharmacotherapeutic development for addictive disorders, primarily cannabis use disorder. To conduct this work, I use a combination of methods including pharmacology, psychophysiology, neuroimaging, and ecological momentary assessment.

A key focus of my work is translatability: from animal models to the human laboratory, from the human laboratory to clinical trials, and bidirectionally across sexes. A primary goal in my training has been to develop skills that would enable me to best realize this focus.

Are you interested in translational addiction research? Contact me.
