Sally Huskinson earned her Ph.D. in Psychology at West Virginia University and completed her postdoctoral training in Behavioral Pharmacology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) in Jackson, MS. Currently, Sally is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and is graduate faculty in the Program in Neuroscience at UMMC. Her research programs focus on the role of: 1) uncertain outcomes in the development, maintenance, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs), and 2) drug history and polysubstance use in the reinforcing properties of benzodiazepines. Nearly all her work relies on the use of animal models to evaluate drugs as reinforcers in a choice context (e.g., drug vs. nondrug, drug vs. drug, and drug vs. drug mixture choice).
