Research project funded by NIAAA to study biochemical and genetic determinants of alcohol consumption, focusing on neuroimmune pathways and potential therapeutic targets for alcohol use disorder.
Description
This project aims to explore the biochemical and genetic factors influencing alcohol consumption, focusing on neuroimmune gene expression and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways. The research investigates the role of interferons and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in alcohol intake behaviors, utilizing genetically modified mice and pharmacological interventions.
