Profile
As a PhD student, my research focuses on the influence of affective touch on the development of the brain's reward system. I am particularly interested in how early life stress (ELS)—such as deprivation of affective touch—may impact the maturation of reward-related circuits in the midbrain. My academic background is in neurobiology, and I have hands-on experience with circuit-level investigations in mouse models, as well as conducting genetic analyses using human biopsy samples.
Job responsibilities
My primary area of responsibility involves exploring how affective touch shapes the development of the brain's reward system, with a focus on early life stress (ELS), maturation of midbrain circuits, and behavioral neuroscience using mouse models.
