About
Advisor: John Larson
As a clinician, I treat a broad range of patient neuropathologies with a concentration in post-stroke rehabilitation. As such, my research centers on uncovering interventions aimed to ameliorate the deleterious effects of oxygen deprivation to brain tissue. Specifically, I use hippocampal slice electrophysiology as a model to simulate stroke and elucidate the mechanistic underpinnings of the ischemic cascade. Concomitant to my work in the lab, I maintain my private practice of providing physiotherapy to people with disabilities, and have served as president of the Shirley Ryan Ability Lab Associate Board.
