Kathryn A. Cunningham, PhD

My research focuses on disease-related brain signaling pathways involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, which can be also be targeted by infectious diseases. My research approaches include cellular signaling and molecular network analyses, neurocircuitry and neuropsychopharmacology analyses. These discovery efforts are translationally geared to develop new biomarkers and drug discovery targets to improve diagnosis and treatment of debilitating disorders.
