Mollie A. Monnig completed a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of New Mexico and clinical internship at Harvard Medical School's McLean Hospital. After postdoctoral fellowship at Brown's Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies, Dr. Monnig received an NIAAA Career Development Award and joined CAAS faculty in 2016. Her research examines brain-behavior relationships in alcohol use disorders and HIV infection. Dr. Monnig's current projects use magnetic resonance imaging and controlled alcohol administration to study the gut-brain axis in alcohol use and HIV infection.
