I receive my bachelor’s degree in biology at Radford University, where I studied the interaction of the immune system and the stress response in wild house sparrows. As a PhD student at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, my research focused on nanoparticles and their ability to act as drug delivery vehicles, as well as their potential to cause harm and activate inflammation in the lungs. During my post-doc, I studied the sex differences in the immune system and its role in the behavioral response to stress.

 

My research interests include the role of the immune system in the behavioral response to stress as it pertains to mood disorders.
