Laboratory of Endocrine and Neuropsychiatric Disorders
The mission of the Laboratory of Endocrine and Neuropsychiatric Disorders (LEND) is to discover and develop improved pharmacotherapeutic agents to treat addictive and related neuropsychiatric disorders. We utilize an integrative behavioral, pharmacological, biochemical, and molecular approach to understand how certain food and drug rewards impact brain and behavior, which has potential therapeutic implications and is at the heart of our research endeavor.
In addition, the LEND is keenly interested in providing hands-on research training to students wishing to pursue a research career in pharmacology and neuroscience. Interested students can contact Dr. Sunil Sirohi for training opportunities.
