Research Interests:
My previous research ranged from the somatization of stress in female mice, genetic modulation of depression, and cognitive assessment of a humanized Alzheimer's mouse model. I also assisted in clinical research efforts to assess the efficacy of noninvasive imaging in skin condition diagnosis and monitoring of treatment. I hope to explore other areas of research involved in biochemical pathways.
