I turn complex preclinical research into clear, quantitative answers. With 15+ years of hands-on research experience spanning Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, CUNY, and SUNY Albany, I bring deep analytical skills and translational insight to scientific problems.
I've published in Cell (Impact Factor 64.5), authored a first-author review in CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics, and am completing my PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience at the University at Albany.
Doctoral thesis using meta-analytic methods to investigate translational validity of preclinical rodent models. Found rodents show ~2.5× larger cognitive enhancement from enrichment than humans — suggesting standard lab housing may systematically inflate preclinical effect sizes.
Contributing author on a Cell publication (IF 64.5) from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Used serial two-photon tomography to map the distribution of three GABAergic interneuron subtypes across the entire mouse brain at single-cell resolution.
A comprehensive review of IGF-2 as a neurotrophic therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease, examining its neuroprotective mechanisms, effects on cognition and neuroplasticity, and potential as a preventive and treatment intervention.
