She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago in 2012 where she majored in comparative human development. During college, Stacey worked in Dr. Abraham Palmer\u2019s Lab studying the genetics of fear and anxiety in mice. As luck would have it, Stacey and Dr. Bryant worked in the same laboratory at the University of Chicago and both moved to Boston\u00a0at the same time. Thus, Stacey was the ideal person for the lab manager position in Dr. Bryant&#8217;s lab. During her time in Dr. Bryant&#8217;s lab, Stacey went above and beyond what was asked of her. Specifically, she developed methods for QTL mapping and brought basic statistic analyses such as factor analysis to the lab while also handling\u00a0the\u00a0administrative tasks required of a lab manager, setting up Dr. Bryant&#8217;s\u00a0new\u00a0lab, running mouse\u00a0behavioral assays, and more. In her free time, she took\u00a0pre-medical courses to prepare for medical school.<\/p>\n<p>Reliable and trustworthy, Stacey has consistently exemplified leadership and dedication throughout her time here. Her problem-solving abilities allowed her to\u00a0build new\u00a0behavioral testing rooms and design protocols for behavioral assays that the lab continues to use. Her\u00a0diligent work ethic has\u00a0led to publications, such as her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4290583\/pdf\/fnbeh-08-00450.pdf\">paper<\/a> titled &#8220;Behavioral architecture of opioid reward and aversion in C57BL\/6 substrains&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Stacey has begun her first year of medical school at the University of\u00a0Florida. The Laboratory of Addiction Genetics is extremely grateful for the pioneering work Stacey has done to set up the lab and for the\u00a0knowledge she has passed on to new lab members. Her\u00a0leadership, dedication, and compassion will also be missed. Best of\u00a0luck in medical school Stacey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stacey Kirkpatrick (Technician, Lab Manager) Stacey\u00a0was the\u00a0laboratory technician and the lab manager in the Laboratory of Addiction Genetics.
