Bio/Research

Dr. Perreault's works to understand the sex-specific cellular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders and to identify novel biomarkers. Taking a wholistic research approach, she also studies the sex-specific neurobiological impacts of whole plants and mushrooms such as cannabis, kratom, and psychedelic mushrooms. As an Indigenous neuroscientist, Dr. Perreault spends much of her time on Indigenous national and global neuroethics initiatives, advocating for appropriate research approaches with Indigenous communities and clinical care, and the integration of Indigenous knowledge and ways of doing into Euro-Western neuroscience. Dr. Perreault also works to enhance Indigenous governance models for wastewater surveillance, as well as AI and neurotechnologies.
