I am interested in genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that give rise to Callosal Projection Neurons and how the development and axon targeting of these neurons are disrupted in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I joined the Macklis Lab in February 2025. I find almost any topic related to the brain deeply intriguing. I am most interested in studying how each neuron grows its subcellular compartments, finds its specific synaptic targets in such a complex...
I joined the lab the Macklis lab as a postdoctoral fellow in Fall 2018. I use novel sequencing strategies to understand multiple aspects of RNA biology in cortical neurons and growth cones. In particular, I study 1.) regulation of axonal growth by local...

I joined the Macklis lab in January 2018 as a postdoctoral fellow. My particular interest lies in studying similarities and differences between the molecular pathways involved in axonal outgrowth and guidance of...
