Research Focus:

The complex processing of the brain is intimately tied to the structural and functional organization that individual neurons and networks of neurons possess. I am broadly interested in understanding brain architecture and function using multiple techniques. With the multi-patch team, I recorded from many neurons simultaneously to uncover the transmission of neural signals between them, using transgenic mouse lines to describe the connections of specific neuron types. More recently, I have been utilizing Spatial Transcriptomics to map gene expression across brain tissue, enabling a deeper understanding of cell types and their organization in space. Together, these approaches contribute to a more comprehensive view of brain structure and function.
