Alex Dopico · Memphis, Tennessee
Dr. Alex Dopico's research lab focuses on understanding how alcohol consumption leads to blackouts, a form of memory loss often related to a specific brain region and its blood vessels. By exploring the actions of alcohol on ion channels in the blood vessels of the brain, the lab aims to uncover new molecular targets that could be used to develop treatments for alcohol-induced blackouts. The research combines various experimental techniques to investigate how these mechanisms work at different levels, from isolated cells to living mice.
