As a research psychiatrist and scientist, she pioneered the use of brain imaging to investigate the toxic effects of drugs and their addictive properties. She has published more than 440 peer-reviewed articles and more than 75 book chapters and non-peer reviewed manuscripts, and has also edited three books on the use of neuroimaging in studying mental and addictive disorders.
