  Center for Therapeutic Innovation, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Science In the laboratory of Dr. Claes Wahlestedt, I worked at the intersection between basic and translational science. By elucidating epigenetic processes in the brain, I enabled a greater understanding of the pathology of complex diseases such as substance abuse, psychiatric disease, and cancer. Through epigenetic-based drug discovery assays, I identified novel compounds with therapeutic potential for these diseases.
