Her research group studied the molecular and biochemical aspects of NEURO-REGENERATION in the context of neuropsychopharmacology. Her group seeks to understand how our daily experiences, environmental factors (such as stress), changes in the intestinal microbiota, and some inflammatory and infectious diseases can negatively modulate neuroplasticity. In her lab, they use experimental in vitro, in vivo, and translational approaches to find new targets for treating anxiety disorders, major depression, autism spectrum disorder, and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's.
