” I am interested in the molecular mechanisms behind neural disorders. I would enjoy continuing working with iPSCs models studying neuronal development as well as cell interactions between neurons and glial cells. I want to study epigenetic changes that contribute to neural disorders. How the environment plays a role in brain plasticity, and I would like to employ bioinformatics to model neuronal networks.”

“As a graduate student, I would be interested in working on a project related to the development and application of novel optical imaging platforms. Specifically, I am interested in understanding the relationship between physiological / cellular interactions and disease-states. There are a number of faculty developing high-resolution microscopes (and adjacent technologies, such as molecular biosensors and genetic engineering) to approach neurological questions and cytoskeletal dynamics. Additionally, the expansion of these technologies may expand therapeutic / pharmaceutical efforts in the future.”

“I am interested in research questions at the intersection between cell and developmental biology; specifically, understanding how cells get to the right place at the right time, and make the right shapes to form complex structures and systems. I am particularly interested in answering these questions within neurons, but also find other tissues extremely exciting. “
