A pat on the shoulder, a gentle embrace; what are the neural mechanisms that drive us to comfort another when they’re in distress?

Non-human animals can provide comfort through a related form of social touch known as prosocial allogrooming .

I use systems neuroscience techniques in mice to study how these behaviors are regulated by neural circuits in the brain.

I am passionate about making science more accessible through compelling visual communication and creating experiences that empower people to engage more with science. If you’re looking for a collaborator who has expertise in visual design and science (and loves to bridge the two), get in touch to work together!
