Julia A. Chester studies the biology behind alcohol drinking behavior, using mice selectively bred to prefer high or low amounts of alcohol. Her work examines how genetics, stress, sex differences, and early-life experiences (like adolescent social isolation) influence alcohol consumption, anxiety, and fear-related behaviors, with some studies also touching on nicotine use and brain fatty acid metabolism.
Publication output has been modest and somewhat irregular over the last decade, with a peak in 2018 and lower, inconsistent activity (including years with no listed publications) in more recent years, averaging about one publication per year over the last five years.
