BIO
Shae is a doctoral candidate in the Biobehavioral Psychology Department, under the co-mentorship of Dr. Travis Todd and Dr. John Green. Broadly, the group is interested in the neural and psychological mechanisms underlying learned behaviors. Shae's research has a specialized focus on the roles of the prelimbic and infralimbic cortices in extinction and renewal within Pavlovian appetitive paradigms. Shae graduated from North Carolina State University in 2021, where she pursued research in the infectious disease field, investigating the potential link between equine papillomavirus type 2 (EcPV2) and oral squamous cell carcinoma in horses. Additionally, Shae contributed to an epidemiology and environmental epigenetics research, examining DNA methylation changes in response to environmental exposures and studying their implications for liver cancer prevalence.
