Mechanisms controlling the wiring of the central nervous system
Investigating the role of glial and neuronal protocadherin gamma in synaptogenesis in the central nervous system.
Living in the Iowa City area is great. It is affordable enough to purchase a home on a graduate student stipend. The small town atmosphere makes it easy to get around. There are always events to enjoy (the annual Jazz Festival is a personal favorite) and plenty of great places to eat. You don't have to drive far to get out of town and enjoy the midwest.
“I came to Iowa from the east coast because I wanted to learn cutting-edge approaches to studying complex human behaviors, from investigators with a proven track record in cognitive neuroscience, in a supportive and extremely collaborative environment.”
