Expertise
Our laboratory has focused on alcohol using rodent models (rats and mice). Specifically, we have been interested in the taste of alcohol as we believe that taste is an important factor in determining ultimate use (and abuse) of this drug.

Our recent project examined the role of the opiate system in modulating the taste of alcohol.
