Milena Radoman, PhD, postdoctoral fellow, has been selected to receive two travel awards in recognition of her recent research on sleep disruptions in alcohol use disorder.
Radoman was awarded a 2025 Early Career Investigator Award from the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) and will present her work at the 2025 ISBRA-RSA Congress on Alcohol and Addictions on June 24 in New Orleans.
She also received a 2025 NIDA Director’s Travel Award from the College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) to attend and present at the CPDD Annual Meeting held June 14-18 in New Orleans.
Radoman’s research focuses on alcohol misuse and its co-occurrence with psychiatric and physical conditions. She employs behavioral, psychophysiological, and neuroimaging methods to examine mechanisms linking negative affect and substance use. Her work spans federally funded preclinical studies in cognitive neuroscience to clinical investigations in substance users with anxiety and depression.
At Yale, under the mentorship of Rajita Sinha, PhD, Radoman is investigating the neural mechanisms linking stress, craving, and heavy drinking, with a focus on individuals with co-occurring chronic pain.
