Research:
- Elucidation of fundamental cellular mechanisms of cognitive function and neural defense and the application of those principles to the discovery and design of therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of disorders of the nervous system
- The neurobiology of gonadal steroid hormones, including neurosteroid metabolites in brain regions involved in learning and memory and vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease
- The mechanisms of action of the neuropeptide hormone vasopressin, which promotes memory function and regulates neural development
