Dr. Feldner’s
research program aims to increase our understanding of the development, prevention,
and treatment of panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and the
common overlap between unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, and these
conditions. To this end, he continues to systematically examine in the
laboratory context specific factors that are implicated in the
development and/or maintenance of these conditions and integrate these
findings into the development of novel prevention and treatment
protocols. Dr. Feldner maintains an active research program funded, in
part, by research project and training grants awarded by the Department
of Defense, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National
Institutes of Health, as well as local funding sources including a
departmental research endowment and the statewide Arkansas Biosciences
Institute. Please see Dr. Feldner’s laboratory webpage
(http://comp.uark.edu/~mfeldne/) for more information about current
activities he and his research team are pursuing in the areas of
research, clinical, teaching, and service.
