Research interests
PhD project: Cummulative early-life stress and the onset of depression - Neurobiological correlates and transgenerational effects
I study gene-by-environment interactions that play a primary role in psychopathology by using experimental models. I am particularly interested in studying the interplay between the serotonin transporter genotype and early life adversity in neurodevelopment and behavior of knockout rats.
