Research Interests

I’ve been extremely excited about researching the role of the immune system in the central nervous system. Specifically, uncovering the factors that push microglia to serve a beneficial or detrimental role in neurodegenerative diseases


Interests

What I mainly do outside of lab is run, lift, read and play a lot of video games.
