	Tom Brigham Professor Emeritus, Retired brigham@wsu.edu	Research Interests: • I am interested in self-management theory and procedures. My research is focused on using these procedures to reduce the personal and societal costs of common self-control problems such as over consumption of alcohol, high-risk sexual behavior over eating, anger difficulties.
	Naomi Chaytor Associate Professor Department of Medical Education and Clinical Services naomic@wsu.edu (509) 368-6775 HERB 454, Spokane	Research Interests: • My research is broadly focused on the neuropsychology of type 1 diabetes. Currently funded projects include 1) ecological momentary assessment of cognition, emotion and stress, coupled with continuous glucose monitoring in adults with type 1 diabetes, and 2) a clinical trial of automated insulin delivery in older adults with type 1 diabetes with and without mild cognitive impairment. Other interests include the validation of mobile neuropsychological assessment and ecological validity of neuropsychological assessment in patients with chronic disease.

Floyd College of Medicine layton@wsu.edu (509) 358-7502 HSB 320F, Spokane	Research Interests: • Active research projects include the study of neuroactive steroid hormones known to modulate glutamate and GABA receptors during acute smoking cessation, as well as during psychostimulant withdrawal from methamphetamine, in comparison to healthy control subjects.
	Michael McDonell Associate Professor, Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine Director, Behavioral Health Innovations mmcdonell@wsu.edu (509) 368-6967 HERB 408, Spokane	Research Interests: • Dr. McDonell is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience developing, testing, and implementing strength-based interventions for people with addiction and mental illness in community settings. He is an Associate Professor in the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine and Director of the Behavioral Health Innovations research group in Spokane, Washington.
	Ryan J. McLaughlin Assistant Professor Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience ryan.mclaughlin@wsu.edu (509) 335-6448 VBR 235, Pullman	Research Interests: • A central aim of my research is to study the role of the endocannabinoid system in the neurophysiological and behavioral response to stressful and aversive stimuli, and subsequently, to determine the extent to which this system is involved in the etiology and treatment of stress-related illnesses. Additionally our laboratory has developed a novel, translationally-relevant model of cannabis vapor self-administration in rats, which we are currently using to interrogate the long-term effects of developmental cannabis exposure on the brain, behavior, and cognitive functioning.
	Sterling McPherson Associate Professor Assistant Dean for Research Director of Biostatistics and Clinical Trial Design sterling.mcpherson@wsu.edu (509) 324-7459 ROP 313, Spokane	Research Interests: • Development of evidence-based drug/alcohol use disorder treatments, including the use of experimental technologies; • Innovative analytical methods to answer novel research questions in psychopharmacology, drug/alcohol use, and nephrology; and • Drug/alcohol use disorders as a co-morbidity in high risk populations (e.g., kidney disease patients, severely mentally ill adults, and methadone maintained patients).
	Frances K. McSweeney Regents Professor, Retired fkmcs@wsu.edu (509) 335-5581 Johnson Tower 319, Pullman	Research Interests: • Habituation • Operant and Classical Conditioning • The Matching Law • Behavioral Contrast • Within-Session Changes in Responding
	Andrew Perkins Associate Professor of Marketing and International Business Director of Center for Behavioral Business Research a.perkins@wsu.edu (509) 335-0940 Todd 390, Pullman	Research Interests: • Consumer self-identity • Implicit processes and behavior • Embodied cognition • Consumer behavior in virtual environments
	John Roll Professor and Vice President for Research, Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine Associate Vice President for Health Sciences Research WSU johnroll@wsu.edu (509) 358-7836 SAC 503F, Spokane
	David Rossi Associate Professor Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience david.rossi@wsu.edu (509) 335-7671 VBR 355, Pullman	Research Interests: • Neural mechanisms of drug and alcohol abuse. In particular we use rodent models to study what predisposes (genetic or environment) individuals to abuse drugs and alcohol, how chronic abuse of drugs and alcohol affects the brain to promote and maintain further abuse, and how drugs and alcohol affect the developing brain.
	Brieann Satterfield Assistant Professor Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology satterfield@wsu.edu 509-358-7620 Sleep and Performance Research Center	Research Interests: • Dr. Satterfield studies the complex phenotype-genotype associations between sleep and cognition. She uses functional genetic polymorphisms as a tool to understand the underlying neurobiological mechanisms associated with inter-individual differences in cognitive impairment during sleep loss. Recently, Dr. Satterfield has taken interest in investigating how circadian disruption increases the risk of poor health outcomes, including metabolic health and cancer.
