Ph.D. Neurobiology and Physiology, Northwestern University, Evanston, Il

Research Interests

     I am currently working in collaboration with Dr.Chandra S. Mayanil (Director of Neural Tube Research) at Children’s Memorial Hospital, affiliated with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The project I am working on focuses on the role of the transcription factors in neural tube development and neural crest cell differentiation.
