Biography

My primary interest is in how homeostatic mechanisms shape social cognition and behavior. My current focus is on deficits in thermal homeostasis in mouse models of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how these may provide translational leverage for understanding disorders of human social functioning. I am also broadly interested in how interactions between genetic and epigenetic factors and environmental exposures (i.e., G x E interactions) contribute to variation in neurodevelopmental outcomes.
