My current research focuses on understanding how fetal alcohol exposures alter neuroimmune communications in the brain via extravesicular and epigenetic mechanisms to induce stress hyper-response, behavioral abnormalities, metabolic dysfunctions, immune incompetence and cancer. We use primarily laboratory rodent as an animal model and cutting-edge epigenetic, genomic, bioinformatic, microscopic, and behavioral techniques in our research.
