Neuroscientist

Profile Summary

The long-term goal of my research is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neural circuit formation and plasticity. Using genetic and pharmacological manipulations in mouse models, I investigate how specific proteins influence brain function in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
