Description of research project:

While in the Williams' lab, I studied the impacts of SIV-infection on brain lipid metabolism by MALDI-MS as well as the impact of Dolutegravir on monocyte metabolism. I am currently characterizing how buprenorphine, a drug used in the treatment of opioid use disorder, may limit mature monocyte transmigration across the blood brain barrier and potentially be used to treat HIV associated neurocognitive impairment
