“I am primarily interested in studying cellular and molecular neurobiology of disease. I enjoy researching molecular mechanisms of inherited neurodegenerative diseases and would be interested in investigating the contribution of neuroimmunology and inflammation in disease pathogenesis. I would like to expand my knowledge of disease recapitulation in new stem cell models such as multi-cell type organoid cultures. Finally, I am interested in learning and applying bioinformatics analyses towards uncovering abnormal genetic signatures in inherited diseases.”
