Bio

I joined Dr. John Benjamin’s lab to study the heterogeneity of neutrophils across developmental stages and during bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). My research focuses on characterizing neutrophil subsets and investigating the contributions of distinct neutrophil subsets to the development of BPD.

My predoctoral training was completed at Northwestern University under the co-mentorship of Dr. Harris Perlman and Dr. Deborah Winter. I studied the heterogeneity and functions of monocyte-lineage cells and macrophages in mouse synovial tissue under both steady-state and inflammatory arthritis conditions.
