New Year?! New Job!

I’m excited to share that I will be joining Pomona College as an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience this year!! 🧠

Very grateful to all who have encouraged me along this path, and I'm looking forward to this next adventure in science.

Research out of the Martin lab in 2025 provided insights into binge drinking behavior and alcohol dependency. The story on the research, that may lead to new therapeutic targets. was one of our most read stories of the year: direc.to/oicV

πŸ‘Take home: Opioid-induced, sex-specific changes last into withdrawal and abstinence and may contribute to relapse risk, highlighting the SCN as a potential therapeutic target for opioid use disorder.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
〰️Link to rhythmic genes: The highest proportion of sex-specific rhythmic genes emerged during abstinence, suggesting that chronic opioid exposure leads to long-lasting, sex-dependent disruptions to the brain’s internal clock, persisting well after drug use ends.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
✨During abstinence, females continued to show lasting alterations in stress-related pathways, energy metabolism, and neurotransmission, whereas males exhibited persistent oxidative stress and ongoing changes in cell detoxification processes.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
Key findings ‡️
✨During intoxication and withdrawal, females showed disruptions in genes involved in synaptic signaling, circadian rhythms, and inflammation, while males exhibited activation of DNA damage and immune response pathways.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
We performed RNAseq on the SCN from genetically diverse female and male rats during 4 key stages:
1⃣NaΓ―ve
2⃣Intoxication
3⃣Acute withdrawal
4⃣Prolonged abstinence
We also linked SCN molecular changes to addiction-like behaviors.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
Opioid Use Disorder is a global crisis.
〰️Chronic use worsens sleep/circadian rhythms, which can elevate cravings, negative affect, and relapse risk.
🧠The SCN drives daily rhythms, but how opioids alter its molecular machinery is unknown.
October 2, 2025 at 12:48 PM
How do opioids disrupt the brain’s internal clock, and how does this differ between sexes? Our new study uses RNAseq to examine the suprachiasmatic nucleus across different opioid exposure states in genetically diverse rats. ✨https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772392525000458
