Cody A. Siciliano is an American neuroscientist and pharmacologist known for his research on the neurotransmitter dopamine, psychoactive substances, and addiction. Siciliano is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee,[1] where his laboratory is part of the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research.[1] His research focuses on uncovering the neural basis of motivated behaviors, and how substances such as cocaine and alcohol act on the brain to produce maladaptive decision-making in some individuals.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
After briefly attending public school, Siciliano was homeschooled from kindergarten through middle school before enrolling in community college.[3] He earned an associate degree from Sullivan County Community College in 2009, then transferred to Binghamton University, both in upstate New York.[3] Siciliano completed a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2011.[4]
Early career and current research[edit]
After earning his bachelor's degree, Siciliano took a position as a technician at Binghamton University where he first gained experience with research and soon pursued a graduate degree in 2012.[3] Siciliano worked as a graduate student in the laboratory of Sara Jones, a neuropharmacologist and analytical chemist known for her work on the dopamine transporter and stimulant drugs,[5] at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. His work with Jones examined the mechanisms by which stimulants such as amphetamine elevate dopamine in the brain, and how dopamine synapses adapt to chronic drug use.[6] He received a PhD in neuroscience in 2015.[4]
After completing his PhD, Siciliano joined Kay Tye’s lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher.[4][7] He contributed to the scientific discovery of the brain regions, circuits, and neurotransmitter systems that contribute to cognition and behavior using state-of-the-art technologies.[8][9][10][11]
Siciliano joined the faculty at Vanderbilt University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology in 2019.[4] He currently runs a research lab where he applies new technologies to understand the biological basis of drug effects on neurotransmission and behavior. In particular, his research aims to understand why only some individuals among those who use drugs and alcohol develop addiction.[2][12][13] Siciliano and his collaborators measured the activity of medial prefrontal cortex neurons in mice drinking alcohol for the first time and were able to predict based on neural activity patterns which would go on to exhibit compulsive drinking behavior.[14][15][16][17]
Siciliano is an advocate for the importance of basic science, which refers to research that does not yet have a clinical application.[1]
Awards and recognition[edit]
Siciliano was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2021.[18] He has also won several awards from scientific societies, including the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation’s 2020 Daniel X. Freedman Prize which recognizes “exceptional basic research.”[19] Siciliano also received research funding to study learning from a neural circuit perspective from the Stanley Cohen Innovation Fund, which supports high-risk high-reward science reminiscent of the late Nobel Prize winner for which it is named.[20]
Personal life[edit]
Siciliano is married to fellow neuroscientist Erin Calipari, University of Kentucky coach John Calipari’s daughter.[21][22] Calipari is also a professor at Vanderbilt and a member of the Vanderbilt Center for Addiction Research.[22]
