Dr. Palmer gave a talk for UCLA’s Integrative Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics (ICNG) Seminar Series, titled “Genetic approaches to understanding substance use disorder and other behaviors: integrative studies using humans and rats.”
The manuscript titled “Environmental enrichment promotes adaptive responding during tests of behavioral regulation in male heterogeneous stock rats” was accepted in Scientific Reports.
Authors include current Palmer Lab members Apurva Chitre, Oksana Polesskaya, and Abraham A. Palmer.
Congratulations!
Gavrila (“Gavi”) joined the Palmer Lab in January 2024, working as a Data Processes Information Systems Analyst with the Bioinformatics team. She graduated from San Diego State University with a master’s degree in Bioinformatics.
Welcome, Gavi!
Anjali is currently rotating in the Palmer Lab for Winter 2024 (January-March) as a student in the Bioinformatics and System Biology (BISB) graduate program.
…we are pleased to celebrate the 100th generation of HS Rats!
Palmer Lab has marked this momentous occasion with festivities at a few recent events.
Lab members and guests enjoyed another beautiful La Jolla sunset together at the annual Palmer Lab holiday party and white elephant gift exchange on December 15, 2023.
Note that the UC San Diego campus will be closed from December 25, 2023 through January 2, 2024.

The 9th Annual Retreat for the P50 Center for Genetic Studies of Drug Abuse in Outbred Rats was a success! The Retreat was held on Friday, October 27, 2023 at the University of California San Diego.
Thank you to all who attended in person and remotely on Zoom! We hope you found the talks informative and made connections with new HS rats/GWAS colleagues.
The manuscript titled “Executive function and impulsivity predict distinct genetic variance in internalizing problems, externalizing problems, thought disorders, and compulsive disorders: A genomic structural equation modeling study” was accepted in Clinical Psychological Science.
