Bio/Research

I received my master’s and PhD in Psychology from Queen’s University in 1997. Prior to joining Laurier, I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Sydney, Australia until 1999, and then served as a faculty member at the University of New England, Australia. I joined the Department of Psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2006.

I am a behavioural neuroscientist who studies the behavioural and neural effects of drugs, with a special emphasis on drugs of abuse.

My research is focused on the brain’s endocannabinoid system. Using behavioural, pharmacological, and immunohistochemical techniques, I examine how cannabinoid receptors are involved in normal behaviour (e.g., learning, memory, feeding, locomotion), pathological behaviour (e.g., addiction). I also study the manner in which cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid drugs interact to alter behaviour and brain activity.

Note that I am not able to respond to elementary or high school students asking for information or an "expert opinion" related to their school assignments or projects.
