A new R01 grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) was awarded to Dr. Lieselot Carrette, with Dr. Abraham Palmer as a co-investigator.
The 4-year grant is titled “Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Outbred Rats with Variable Vulnerability to Compulsive Alcohol Use” and it will start September 20, 2025 and end on August 31, 2029.
Dr. Carrette and her research collaborators will use MRI to assess brain features associated with alcohol use disorder in genetically diverse heterogeneous stock rats that show vulnerability or resilience to developing alcohol addiction-like behaviors.
Congratulations!
