JULIE MACH
Assistant Professor
Chemistry

Specialty:
Biochemistry
Pharmacology

Research:
Research plans include trying to understand at a molecular level how an activation of the immune system (i.e. when an animal is sick) leads to changes in behavior. Work is being done in collaboration with Dr. Susan Larson of the Psychology Department, where the behavioral components of the project are performed.

Interests:
Research interests fall under the broad areas of neuroscience, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
