About
My fundamental drive as a future physician-scientist is to improve the diagnosis, treatment and understanding of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. I aim to accomplish these goals through my research and clinical training in developmental neuroscience. My research aims to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern human brain development and evolution.
