FiNE Lab
About Our Research Group
We are interested in sorting the underlying structural and functional consequences of behavior/neurocognition in disease. Our goal is to develop a better understanding of how cellular function is affected by HIV-1 infection and (endo)cannabinoids. Our research is focused on the cellular, functional, and behavioral mechanisms of the neurotoxic consequences of HIV-1 proteins on the central nervous system and the role of the (endo)cannabinoid system.
Interested in working as an undergraduate in our lab?
If you are an undergraduate, have a passion for behavioral neuroscience, and are specifically interested in our behavioral neuroscience research, let us know. Undergraduates may work in the lab as volunteers or, on a limited basis, as independent study students. We take new students in the fall, spring, and summer. If you are interested in a research position for our behavioral studies, please contact us at sfitting@email.unc.edu with a statement describing your interest in the lab and a resume including your current GPA. Applications by members of all underrepresented groups are encouraged.
Our lab supports the University’s core values encouraging diversity and equal educational and employment opportunities throughout our community. These values are articulated in the UNC Non-Discrimination Policy and by the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs.
