We Are Weill Cornell Medicine: Dr. Anjali Rajadhyaksha

Dr. Anjali Rajadhyaksha knows the effects of drug addiction, having lost a neighbor to the disease. Now a neuroscientist, she and her team hope to develop therapies to help those most vulnerable to dependence.

"It really takes teamwork and togetherness, which is what I have in my lab. They’re troubleshooting with me,” said Rajadhyaksha, associate professor of neuroscience and of neuroscience in pediatrics. “We are always thinking about that individual who is addicted, and how can we help.”
