BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interest is to help elucidate some of the mechanisms that pattern the Nervous System (NS) using a vertebrate model organism. In particular, I am interested in genes that contribute to NS patterning by regulating cell proliferation, cell size and apoptosis in the early stages of neurogenesis.
