Jacqueline M Barker

Jacqueline Barker, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Physiology at Drexel University College of Medicine.

Dr. Barker’s primary research interest is in dissecting the neural circuits that contribute to the development of neuropsychiatric illnesses characterized by inflexible behavior. Her lab combines traditional and cutting-edge techniques to investigate how these circuits function in an intact system to mediate behavioral flexibility, and how deficits in control over actions may result from insults such as drug and alcohol exposure.
