Profile Summary

I am a cellular and molecular neuroscientist trained for over 10 years in developing in vitro and in vivo assays for understanding the mechanisms underlying neuronal connectivity in the healthy brain and in neurological disorders. Currently, I am exploring new approaches to explain gene-phenotype relationships in a genetic model of neurodevelopmental disorders using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons.
