Teniel Ramikie, PhD

​Teniel S. Ramikie, PhD, is currently a post-doctoral research fellow in the Neurobiology of Fear laboratory and a HHMI-sponsored Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Fellow. Dr. Ramikie earned her PhD at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine where her research focused on elucidating mechanisms of endocannabinoid synaptic biology within stress-regulating brain regions. As a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. Ressler’s laboratory, she has expanded these research interests to include investigating the mechanisms that underlie the pathophysiology of stress-related psychiatric disease states, particularly in females.
​
To this end, Dr. Ramikie employs multidisciplinary techniques to examine processes underlying lasting modifications in neural circuits, associated with pathological behavioral states, using disease models of fear and anxiety disorders.
