Bio:

Post-Doc, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (John Trojanowski), University of Pennsylvania, 2001-2003
Post-Doc, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (Virginia Lee), University of Pennsylvania, 1998-2001
Ph.D., Biochemistry, McGill University, Canada- 1997

My research is focused on understanding the cellular mechanisms and molecular interactions involved as underlying causes of neurodegenerative diseases. A primary research interest is to expand the understanding of the regulation of protein levels, function, interactions and folding that affect protein aggregation in the nervous system.
