Deborah Mangold received her Ph.D. in Biological Psychology at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Her doctoral dissertation focused on an examination of the effects of the opioid antagonist naloxone on the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis in non-dependent individuals with a family history of alcoholism. Her doctoral dissertation was completed under the direction of Dr. Gary Wand, in his laboratory at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Following the completion of her doctoral thesis, Dr. Mangold completed post-doctoral training in Neuroendocrinology and Human Genetics at the Brain Research Institute, The University of California, Los Angeles, in the laboratories of Drs. Anna Taylor and Ernest Noble. Dr. Mangold joined the faculty of the Department of Psychology at UTSA in 2003 and is currently a member of the American Psychological Society, The Southwestern Psychological Society, and the Research Society on Alcoholism.
Dr. Mangold’s program of research continues to focus on the HPA and opioid systems and has recently expanded to include investigations of the effects of genotype, acculturative stress, and familial violence on neurohormonal, immune and health outcomes. |
