Research Interests

My previous work was on cerebrovascular damage and amyloid deposition within Alzheimer’s disease mouse models, and I would love to continue working in areas related to that! I’m passionate about research within the neurodegenerative field, possibly focusing on the benefits and consequences of current and novel therapeutics. Additionally, I’m extremely interested in studying vasculature, the blood-brain barrier, and neuroimmune responses in neurodegenerative disease progression.
