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.
