Research Interests
Nick is a T32 postdoctoral scholar interested in studying the relationship between stress, sleep, and substance use in adolescence. His PhD work with Danny Winder PhD at Vanderbilt University focused on preclinical evaluation of anti-addiction therapeutics in mouse models of substance use disorder and anxiety. He hopes to leverage his background in neuroscience to inform future work with Brant Hasler PhD targeting the mechanisms underlying transition to problematic substance use among adolescents and young adults with sleep disturbances and exposure to early life stress.
