About

Kimberly Nixon is a Professor at The University of Texas at Austin, USA. Her research focuses on the neuroimmune effects of alcohol dependence, sex differences in addiction, and the neurobiological impact of binge drinking, particularly in female and adolescent populations. Recent publications include studies on microglial reactivity, neurodegeneration, and the interplay between alcohol exposure and neuroendocrinology.
