Excited to announce that my lab is moving to Temple University Lewis Katz SOM this fall! 🎉 A heartfelt thank you to my incredible friends and colleagues at Rowan Behavioral Neuroscience for their unwavering support as I started my career. #NewBeginnings #Neuroscience #Gratitude

Had a great time at the Chemistry and Pharmacology of Drug Abuse meeting in Boston. It's great to see how far molecular modeling and Drug Discovery has come. Can't wait to share more of our story at SfN in October. #CPDA

I am surely not very objective, but the people at the 2024 GRC on the neurobiology of addiction are awesome 🥰

Headed to #SfN ? Check out our poster from the Lab of Ellen Unterwald on Monday Morning (poster # C106). I will be sharing our results on the effect of cocaine and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on BBB permeability in vivo. (Spoiler, the results will surprise you!)

I won't be at Society for Neuroscience (SfN) this year but spread the word for me friends! The Giovanniello Lab CSAR is looking for a lab technician for a January 2025 start date. Winter grads 🎓, I'm looking at you 👀 Interested in stress, drugs, and habits? Feel free to DM or email.

Could psilocybin play a role in reducing opioid addiction? New research from the Daws Lab @CSARTemplemed finds it reduces heroin-seeking in animals and affects inflammatory genes in key brain areas. Promising insights for future therapies! #AddictionResearch Temple Med School

And ended the day with an amazing talk by the newest member of the Department, Gunes Kutlu. Excited to have him as a colleague and look forward to great collaborations.

Hope to see the women faculty of Temple Med School at this great networking event!
