Daniel F. Manvich, Ph.D.

Dr. Manvich is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Rowan-Virtua SOM. He received his B.S. in Biopsychology from Tufts University in 2003 and his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Emory University in 2011. He is trained in the disciplines of behavioral pharmacology and behavioral neuroscience and enjoys combining techniques and approaches from these two fields in his research efforts. Outside of lab, Dr. Manvich enjoys taking nature walks around the campus to check in on our native wildlife that includes birds, rabbits, deer, snapping turtles, hawks, groundhogs, foxes, and tons of geese and ducks. Away from work, he can usually be found playing and watching soccer, spending quality time with his family and pets, or overloading a shopping cart with awesome (and usually unnecessary) items at Target! 

Corinne Gallagher, B.S.

Ph.D. Student

Corinne graduated from West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 2021 with a B.S. in Chemistry-Biology and a minor in Psychology. While at West Chester, she carried out research focused on the functional antagonism of anxiety-like effects of psychostimulants in mice under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Sweet. As a Ph.D. student, Corinne is interested in behavioral pharmacology and neuropharmacology. Her early work examined the impacts of adolescent stress on opioid self-administration, and more recently she is exploring the effects of the alpha-2 receptor agonist xylazine on the discriminative-stimulus effects of the highly-potent opioid, fentanyl. Outside of Rowan, Corinne enjoys playing rugby with her club team and being outdoors.
