Jessica Siegel
Jessica received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from Oregon Health & Science University. She was an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Sewanee: The University of the South from 2011-2015 and an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of St. Thomas from 2015-2022.
Her research explores the neurobiological and behavioral effects of drugs of abuse. Specifically, the effects of methamphetamine and ketamine on brain function, cognition, and behavior are investigated in a mouse model.
