Research Interests

My main responsibilities are in the administrative, service and teaching arenas. I am currently the Interim Department Head and Director for the Medical Neuroscience course. One of my primary duties is to ensure that all the medical student courses offered by the Department of Human Anatomy and Medical Neurobiology are current and relevant, and presented in a way that provides our medical students with a sound foundation of knowledge in preparation for their clinical training.

I participate in graduate training as a member of the faculty in the Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience.
