Research Interests
While currently working in the Davidson Laboratory on Campus, I have been studying Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type I (SCA1). SCA1 is an autosomal dominant polyglutamine repeat neurodegenerative disorder. I have been studying the effects of RNAi gene therapy in mouse models
Living in Iowa City
I love Iowa City more than I can say. The general ambiance is utterly amicable. Iowa City is crawling with cultural and artistic outputs. Every day there are poetry readings, musical seminars or dane workshops for the general public to take advantage of. Everyone is so friendly and you can't beat the science!! :)
