Research Interests

I investigate the many ways that selenium is vital for brain function. My work spans a range of topics, such as neuronal physiology, stress and glucocorticoid exposure, metabolic disorder, neurodegeneration, and early life stress. Methodologies involve mouse models, cell cultures, metabolic phenotyping, and behavioral testing.
