Overview


I divide my time between clinic and the laboratory. In clinic I focus primarily on fetal and neonatal patients with genetic disorders, brain malformations, prematurity, perinatal brain injury, and seizures. In the lab, I use a toolbox of mouse genetics, single-cell transcriptomics, and cell culture to study how cortical neurons change in response to perinatal brain injury and genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.
