Scientific Interests 

Throughout her university career her interests have been focused on the study of deliquency and drug addiction, which brought her to analyze in a deeper way the addictive behavior in humans, starting with the Master's Degree and continuing with her PhD. She wants to understand not only the physiological bases of tobacco addiction, but to find a treatment which improves the quality of life of addicts to this substance. In a future she expects to extrapolate these results to the treatment of other type of drug addictions.
