Welcome to the Molina Lab 

Research in our laboratory focuses on the physiopathological consequences of alcohol and drugs of abuse and their interactions with disease states, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and HIV/SIV infection. Our scientific team actively collaborates with basic science, clinical, and translational investigators in a wide range of projects that investigate how alcohol and drugs of abuse interact at the molecular, organ system, whole body, and community levels to contribute to disease burden in our society.
