Angela M. Amedee, PhD Professor Microbiology, Immunology and Parasitology LSUHSC, School of Medicine	Effect of alcohol consumption on SIV pathogenesis, and characterization of SIV expressed in the lung and at mucosal surfaces. Effect of alcohol consumption on mucosal shedding of HIV in women.	PubMed Link
Scott Edwards, PhD Assistant Professor Physiology LSUHSC School of Medicine Director of the Information Dissemination Core	Investigation of neurobiological changes associated with altered motivational systems in drug and alcohol dependence . Our most recent focus is on the interaction of addiction and chronic pain. Employing animal models of these conditions, we are investigating how inflammatory pain alters central reinforcement circuitry and motivated behavior.	PubMed Link
