Meet Cristina Marie Rivera Quiles (@criveraquiles), HHMI Gilliam Fellow and @michiganstateu PhD candidate! 👋 Find out what drives her research, the neurobiology of substance use disorder, and why she thinks her dog, Loki, deserves a #PhD of his own! #GilliamFellows

So excited to be a part of this terrific and productive collaboration with @GeoffroyLaumet. This translational work describes a novel neuro-immune mechanism of pain resolution mediated by sex hormones. So cool!
Latest #preprint, fantastic collaboration with #DrLinnstaedt and @RobisonLabMSU, @JaewonSimJ1 shows that Interleukin-10-producing monocytes contribute to sex differences in pain resolution in mice and humans. @karli_monahan others @msupsl #neuroimmunology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It was a pleasure writing this commentary about the excellent work by @kevmanz, @GrueterLabVandy, @TheCalipariLab, and colleagues! Check out my commentary in @BiologicalPsyc1, but more importantly, read the outstanding original paper in the same journal!
Grateful for @RobisonLabMSU's commentary on our work in @BiologicalPsyc1 on histamine-induced plasticity in the NAc. Eager to get back at it! Histamine Regulates Accumbens Microcircuits: An Arousing Finding for Addiction Research biologicalpsychiatryjournal.…

Fun article about Adam Moeser and me and our collaboration on mast cells! Also highlights @nataliaduquew and her work with us. Working with both of them is one of my favorite parts of science!
Excited to share that @RobisonLabMSU & @GIStressBioLab received a $2M R01 grant from @NIH for our #mastcells & ΔFosB research! Read about how a chance encounter at a distillery led to this interdisciplinary collaborative research with huge potential. bit.ly/3lPkgZ4
