Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
The focus of my research is to understand the molecular and genetic mechanisms by which neurons identify the correct partners and form appropriate synaptic connections during the development of the nervous system. Understanding how neurons choose the correct synaptic partner is at the heart of understanding the organization and function of the nervous system, yet very little is known about how it is accomplished.
