Anna Elizabeth Kirkland

I am a post-doctoral fellow at the Medical University of South Carolina under the mentorship of Dr. Lindsay Squeglia in the Addiction Sciences Division. I am studying the effects of adolescent alcohol and cannabis use on brain metabolites using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and how such alterations to brain metabolites relates to cue reactivity using fMRI. My long-term goal is to contribute to the discovery and assessment of neuroscience-based treatments for adolescent SUD.
