joined the Department of Biological Sciences as Assistant Professor in 2015. Her laboratory aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms for axon pathfinding and selective degeneration leading to the formation and maintenance of functional brain circuits. Her studies use zebrafish as a model system and a unique combination of genetic, embryological and live imaging approaches to observe and manipulate axons directly in the embryo in vivo.
