I'm a second year masters student here at AU. Currently I am working on a project assessing the effects of cocaine preexposure on desipramine induced taste aversions. I am interested in continuing research assessing the aversive effects of cocaine as well as how drug history effects the aversive and rewarding properties of other drugs. In addition I hope to, in the near future collaborate with my colleagues exploring strain differences and the effects of cross fostering on ethanol self administration and ethanol induced taste aversions.
