Research Interests:
Post-doctoral trainee using cell culture techniques to assess the
impact on gene expression of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
within neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor genes for subunits a3
and b4. These SNPs have been shown by our lab to be involved in early
initiation of alcohol and tobacco use. Also Investigating potential
transcriptional factor interactions with SNPs.
Postdoctoral research advisor: Dr Marissa Ehringer
