Bio
I am interested in investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of synapse development and plasticity that underlie cognitive function. My work focuses on understanding how the trans-synaptic adhesion molecule Brain-specific Angiogenesis Inhibitor (BAI2) mediates hippocampal physiology by utilizing PET / CT scans and molecular modeling coupled to cryogenic electron microscopy.
