Bio

I received a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology here at the University of Minnesota. I am the Forster Family Chair in Cancer Prevention at the Masonic Cancer Center of the University of Minnesota and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. I am the Associate Director of Cancer Prevention and Control at the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, Director of the Tobacco Research Programs and Deputy Director of the Global Institute for Research on Cancer Prevention. I am an adult psychologist and my areas of research expertise include nicotine addiction and its treatment, including testing medications such as a nicotine vaccine and combination medications, in smokers. Currently, I am PI/Co-PI of a large NIH-funded cooperative agreement and a program project grant that involves assessing the toxicity, appeal and addictiveness of various tobacco products, with the goal of reducing tobacco-caused harm and addiction. I have served on numerous scientific advisory boards for the U.S. government including the 1) Food and Drug Administration, Tobacco Product Scientific Advisory Committee, 2) National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse, 3) Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health, 4) Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 5) Scientific Board of Counselors for the National Institutes on Drug Abuse, and 6) the Drug Control Research, Data and Evaluation Committee of the Office on National Drug Control Policy.
