I am a neuroscientist with over 12 years of research experience in neurobiology, molecular and cellular neuro-science, with a strong focus on neurodegenerative diseases. My work has contributed to understanding the mechanisms of cellular senescence, protein aggregation, and neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s Disease, as well as identifying potential therapeutic targets. I have held research and teaching positions at Delaware State University, university of Minnesota and Boise State University, where I mentor students and integrate cutting-edge neuroscience research into education. Passionate about scientific discovery and mentorship, I strive to foster an engaging and inclusive learning environment while advancing translational neuroscience research.
