Bio:

Melissa R. Warden is an Associate Professor in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at the University of Arizona. She received an A.B. in Molecular Biology from Princeton University and a Ph.D. in Systems Neuroscience from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she investigated prefrontal neuronal encoding of multi-item short-term memory with Earl K. Miller. As a postdoctoral fellow with Karl Deisseroth at Stanford University she studied cortical control of neuromodulatory systems in motivated behavior. Prior to moving to the University of Arizona, she was faculty in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. Her research at the University of Arizona integrates imaging, neurophysiological, and cellular and molecular approaches to study the neural circuits regulating motivated behavior and their dysfunction.
