Julianne Jett, PhD
Dr. Jett received her doctorate in neuroscience and pharmacology from the University of Texas Health San Antonio where she used rodent models to investigate mechanisms underlying stress-induced cognitive impairments associated with prefrontal cortex function. Following, she completed postdoctoral training with Promoting Research Initiatives in Substance Use and Mental Health (PRISM) Collaborative at Washington State University (WSU), which utilized alcohol biomarkers to determine study eligibility, assess treatment efficacy, and direct care. Currently, Dr. Jett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Community and Behavioral Health at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, Washington State University. Her research investigates whether Addiction Neuroclinical Assessment variables (executive function, negative emotionality, and incentive salience) are associated with patterns of substance use, predict treatment outcomes, or change as a consequence of treatment. As part of this work, she utilizes biomarkers to objectively measure stress response and alcohol consumption in individuals with alcohol use disorders.
