BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am a postdoctoral Research Assistant in Professor Steve Wilson's Laboratory at UCL. My main academic interest is in zebrafish neuroanatomy. My PhD thesis was on habenula afferent circuitry in zebrafish. I also build websites for the UCL Zebrafish group(https://zebrafishucl.org) including ZebrafishBrain (https://zebrafishucl.org/zebrafishbrain), our neuroanatomical atlas.
