Robert C Lawrence

Robert C Lawrence serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience within the School of Natural Science, Mathematics, and Engineering at Viterbo University.

Education:

• PhD, Kent State University
• BS, Mount Union College

His research program investigates the neurodevelopmental impacts of ethanol and other substances, employing multidisciplinary approaches to correlate neural alterations with behavioral outcomes. This work bridges molecular neuroscience, toxicology, and behavioral analysis to understand substance-induced developmental disruptions.

Dr. Lawrence's contributions focus on identifying mechanisms through which environmental exposures alter neural circuitry during critical developmental windows, with implications for neurodevelopmental disorders and substance abuse interventions.
