After graduation, I began working as a post-bac IRTA fellow with Dr. Lorenzo Leggio in his joint National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) laboratory. Dr. Leggio’s Clinical Psychoneuroendocrinology and Neuropsychopharmacology laboratory aims to identify possible novel medications for addiction with clinical and translational inpatient and outpatient studies. Focusing on the unique role of the gut-liver-brain axis in alcohol- and drug-seeking behaviors, the laboratory is currently exploring the potential role of feeding-related pathways that involve ghrelin, leptin, oxytocin, and GLP-1 as probable new neuropharmacological targets for alcohol and substance use disorders treatment.<\/p>\n
