\nHarrison earned her undergraduate a nd graduate degrees in psychology and behavioral neuroscience from Cardiff University in Wales. She moved to Vanderbilt in 2004 and opened her own l ab in 2011 in the Division of Diabetes\, Endocrinology and Metabolism in t he Department of Medicine. Harrison’s research focus is on how our diet and environmental exposures can influence our brain health and behavior an d contribute to susceptibility to developmental disorders and to age-relat ed neurodegenerative disorders. Harrison is well-known for her work on the varied roles of vitamin C in the brain and particularly the effects of vi tamin C deficiency. Her research also includes other nutrients including m anganese which is critical to life but damaging at higher exposure levels. Both vitamin C and manganese directly impact normal function of a range o f neurotransmitter systems. Work in the Harrison lab is performed predomin antly in rodent models and cell culture systems and Harrison strives to pr ovide a supportive environment for all trainees and collaborators to thriv e and develop.
\nThe lecture will be held in Jordan Hall room 105. Afterward\, you are invited for a mixer in the Galleria with light refres hments.
