Research Interests:

The use of genetic strategies to identify the underlying biological bases for the behavioral and physiological actions of drugs of abuse with special emphasis on nicotine.

Active Grants:

• NIDA U01DA043802 (Stitzel, JA, Radcliffe, RA) 4/1/18-12/31/22. Genetic modifiers of Chrna5 deletion in mice: role in nicotine behaviors modulated by the medial habenula-IPN pathway. Role: PI
• NIDA R01DA044283 (Vrieze, S). Deep sequencing, phenotyping, and imputation in large-scale biobanks: a novel and cost-effective framework to identify rare mutations associated with addiction. Role: Co-investigator
• AB Nexus Grant (Stitzel, Patel MPI). Multi-generation impact of developmental nicotine exposure on mitochondrial function. Role: Lead PI
• NIDA 5R33DA055781 (Ehringer, Hoeffer, Stitzel) 9/1/24-8/30/27. Role of glial expression in nicotine behaviors for genes identified through human GWAS. Role: MPI
