Stephanie Groman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at the University of Chicago. Her research program focuses on investigating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying decision-making in both normal and pathological states, with a particular interest in addiction. The lab employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating behavioral paradigms, computational analyses, neuroimaging techniques, and systems-level manipulations to explore the links between genetic and signaling mechanisms and behaviors associated with addiction. Dr. Groman has conducted significant studies, including the impact of lesions in the mediodorsal thalamus and orbitofrontal cortex on decision-making behaviors, and has published multiple articles in reputable journals, examining sex differences in addiction and the effects of various stressors. She is also involved in the Groman Lab, which continues to advance our understanding of the decision-making processes related to addictive behaviors through innovative research methodologies.
