​I received my Ph.D. (2007) at the Ohio State University, where I studied the translational regulation of glutamate transporter EAAT2 and dysregulation of EAAT2 expression and lipid raft association in neurodegenerative diseases. I recently joined the Department of Physiology and Biophysics and am working on the neural circuits in normal and pathological states by monosynaptic neural circuit tracing using modified virus.
