Dr. Gereau successfully defended his PhD thesis, “Manipulations of the Neurotensin System Modulate Alcohol Consumption” under the guidance of Dr. Zoe McElligott on June 17.
Dr. Gereau will be moving on to a position as a postdoc in the Al-Hasani and McCall labs at Washington University in St. Louis.
