Research Interests
My research in the Cameron laboratory employs cellular, pharmacological, computational and spatial analysis techniques to test hypotheses regarding the mechanisms that control cellular pattern formation in the central nervous system. Specifically, my work examines neuronal pattern formation in the retina of a species of fish that is capable of retinal regeneration after damage, for the purpose of identifying overall mechanisms of normal and regenerative neuronal growth and pattern formation, and the potential molecular nature of such mechanisms.
Awards:
Society for Neuroscience Travel Award, 2005.
New York State GSEU Professional Career Development Award, 2003.
