About

I received my BS in Biochemistry from the University of Waterloo. My PhD was obtained from the University of Western Ontario in the Cell Biology department. I conducted my postdoctoral work in the laboratories of Drs. Marc Caron at Duke University and Kirill Martemyanov at The Scripps Research Institute (Neuroscience department).

Research Interests

My research interest focuses on understanding the behavioral and physiological role of a group of understudied proteins called orphan receptors.

Teaching Interests

Cell biology, Neuroscience
