Hannah Alton, A.B.

Research Interests

Hannah graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Neuroscience, where she studied the discriminative stimulus effects of serotonin 2A and 2C receptor ligands in non-human primates under Dr. Stephen Kohut and the molecular pharmacology of psychedelics in human induced-pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons under Dr. Stephen Haggarty. At NIDA, she is investigating the molecular correlates of cannabinoid-opioid interactions using conditional knockout mice. She is currently applying for MD/PhD programs and aspires to integrate patient care with translational research to alleviate psychiatric and substance use disorders as a physician-scientist.
