I am interested to explore developmental mechanisms that generate temporal and spatial boundaries within the human cerebral cortex. I am also interested to understand how these processes might go awry in brain disease. As an undergraduate, I worked with Dr. Jeffrey Macklis to investigate genetic controls that diversify projection neuron subtype identity within precise regions of the mammalian cortex. I then worked with Dr. Elizabeth Engle to understand the genetic and molecular basis of human disorders of axon guidance.
