Rafael Perez, PhD, associate research scientist in psychiatry, has been recognized with a Kavli Scholars Award from the Kavli Foundation.
The Kavli Scholars program supports exceptional scientists whose research has been disrupted by unexpected challenges by providing an opportunity to continue their work in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience, neuroscience, or theoretical physics. The award will support Perez's studies on the mechanisms of brain circuit dysfunctions underlying opioid resistance after spinal cord injury.
