Ph.D. Candidate

I am currently investigating the regulation and degradation of HSF-1 in neurodegenerative diseases using C. elegans models. My goal is to examine HSF-1 levels in these diseases in a tissue specific manner and to screen for modulators in this regulatory pathway.

​I enjoy reading, camping, and taking long walks on the beach.

I am currently investigating the molecular effects of lithium treatment on bipolar disorder using C. elegans as a model organism. My goal is to discover novel insights into the origins of bipolar disorder and lithium's therapeutic mechanisms in order to generate new potential for drug development.

​I enjoy camping, lacrosse, and lightning hockey.
