Research Interests

  • Research projects under investigation:
  • 1. Molecular mechanisms underlying learning-dependent modulation of ingestive behavior. Main goal of this project is to understand the complete mechanisms of the molecular events (e.g. networks of genes) in the brain (e.g. networks of neurons) that underlie hedonic coding, which will make it possible to pharmacologically increase the palatability of less caloric dense foods (e.g. low sugar/low fat).
  • 2. NIH/NIA R03 AG064338-01A1: “Hyperoxia exposure in an aging model of Type-1 diabetes”. 05/15/2020 – 03/31/2022.
  • 3. NIH/NIA R15 AG064674-01A1: “Hyperoxia-induced Kv channel regulation in an aging mouse model”. 05/01/2020 – 04/30/2023.
  • 4. USF COVID-19 Rapid Response Research Proposal
  • IRESCV2 #100255: "Detrimental effects of hyperoxia on Covid-19 infected mice model" 05/28/2020 – 05/27/2021.
