Research Areas:
2005-present     Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science/The Chicago Medical School  (Department of Neuroscience)  Electrophysiological, multi-photon imagining, and molecular studies examining the role of neuronal calcium signaling in normal and neurodegenerative processes, particularly in aging and early Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. 

2001-2005      University of California, Irvine (Department of Neurobiology and Behavior - Ian Parker and Frank LaFerla, PI's) In vitro whole-cell electrophysiological recording, multi-photon imaging and molecular/transgenic studies examining mechanisms of neuronal calcium signaling, and mutations related to Alzheimer's disease and neurodegenerative diseases.

1999-2000     Yale University School of Medicine (Departments of Psychiatry and Pharmacology - George Aghajanian, PI) In vitro sharp and whole cell electrophysiological recordings in cortical and hippocampal slices examing effects of serotonin and adenosine on neuronal activity in relation to psychosis and drugs of abuse.
