Introducing my lab: we study how social stress impacts the brain and how these changes affect social behavior. We study California mice which are great for studying social stress in females and pubertal development (doesn't start until post-natal day 50).

Excited to share our new paper out now @natureportfolio.bsky.social, where we identified neural signatures of stress susceptibility and resilience in the amygdala-ventral hippocampal network to enable control of anhedonia!

Latest from our group in collaboration with Lotte Bjerre Knudsen and other Novo scientists. They developed a GLP-1/Leptin co-agonist that we put through its paces in a number of mouse models to prove that both parts of the molecule matter. More options on the table!
