Research:
Neural Circuit Development
Education:
Postdoctoral Fellowship: Harvard University, Neurobiology
PhD: University of Pennsylvania, Cell & Molecular Biology
BSc: McGill University, Honours Physiology
Fields of Interest:
- Cellular and Molecular Structure and Function
- Genetic Models of Development and Disease
Research Interests:
Our laboratory studies how developing neurons precisely organize into neural circuits. We study molecular and cellular mechanisms that specify neuronal wiring patterns and partners. Using transgenic mice, genetic and viral approaches to visualize neurons, and cutting-edge microscopy, we study how these pathways govern the assembly and function of neural circuits in the brain and retina.
