My Bachelor of Arts was earned from Columbia College, Columbia University. I am an attending physician in Stanford's Evaluation Clinic. My basic neurobiology translational research identifies and corrects gene networks in human neural cell types associated with varied brain disorders, including autism, motor neuron disease, neurodegeneration, and aging. I apply advanced single cell transcriptomics and deep learning models applied on mice and human stem cell derived models of the brain called neural organoids.
