Research Interests
Eva Redei’s major interests include the molecular basis of
affective illnesses and stress hyperreactivity. To this end, her laboratory
has been using animal models and genetic methods. One of their projects uses
quantitative trait loci analysis of multiple behavioral and hormonal traits
in a genetic animal model of depression. They have identified multiple loci
for each traits and are currently analyzing polymorphisms in candidate genes.
Dr. Redei is also a co-investigator on the Mutagenesis Center grant (Joe
Takahashi, P.I.), where the project characterizes potential mutants showing
enhanced or diminished hormonal and behavioral stress-reactivity.
