Through her work in the Drea Lab, she graduated with distinction in neuroscience, completing a thesis on the neuroanatomical and neuroendocrine underpinnings of female social dominance. She also worked as a research assistant in the Derbyshire chemistry lab studying novel aspects of malaria parasite biology with the hopes of identifying draggable targets. Mia is broadly interested in neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopment disorders, and the application of neuroscience and neurobiology to psychiatric treatment for diseases including OCD.
