Science Research/Grant Consultant: expertise in neuroscience, vasculature, stem-cells, transcriptomics, regeneration

Profile Summary

I have been a postdoctoral fellow at the NIH/NHLBI for 3 years following the completion of my Human Genetics Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, I have 10 total years of molecular biology research experience at the intersection of neuroscience, genetics and vascular biology. I work on mostly on human primary tissue and stem-cell derived models (2D culture, organoids). I have authored 5 first-author papers and led 8 grant applications across NIH extramural and intramural funding sources, as well as private foundations. I have extensive experience with bioinformatics, primarily single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics.
