Mike Beckstead, Ph.D.
I am an Associate Member in the Aging & Metabolism research program at the OMRF and the Hille Family Foundation Chair in Neurodegenerative Disease Research. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from Ohio Northern University and a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. My lab is primarily interested in studying the neurophysiology and behavior associated with dopamine neurons and other cell types in the ventral midbrain, as well as their role in aging, drug abuse, and neurodegeneration.
