Christopher Gregg, D.Phil.

Positions:
Assistant Professor

Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy

Department of Human Genetics

University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT)

Post Doctoral Fellow

Molecular and Cellular Biology

Past Advisors:

Samuel Weiss (as Graduate Student - Ph.D.)
Research:
My work is focused on three main themes: (1) How do early life events program brain function, animal behavior and disease susceptibility? (2) What genetic and/or epigenetic pathways influence feeding and foraging behaivors? (3) Understanding the molecular architecture of feeding circuits in the brain.
