Research In Motion: Mary Peace McRae

August 2023 – UVA’s Research in Motion recently featured Neuroscience professor and Assistant Dean for Research Dr. Mary Peace McRae. In her words: “My research studies how opioids negatively impact memory and learning in people living with HIV. Having a better understanding of these cellular and molecular processes, including how opioids decrease the ability of HIV drugs to treat HIV within the brain, as well as how opioids increase the recruitment of HIV into the brain, will help us to develop better strategies for treating these individuals.”
