Research summary
AI-generated

Jodi L. Lukkes studies how stress and early-life experiences shape the brain and behavior, using animal models (mostly rats and mice) to examine chemical signaling systems such as serotonin and GABA. Her work connects developmental adversity to later outcomes like depression, anxiety, substance use, and attention/hyperactivity problems, and also explores neurodevelopmental disorders including autism and neurofibromatosis type 1. Some recent work extends to circadian biology and its links to diabetes-related eye complications.

Current awards run through November 2026 — about under a year of funding on record from today. Awards are often renewed, so this is what is currently public, not a forecast.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
