WORK HISTORY
Senior Staff Scientist @Boston Children's Hospital
Leading phenotypic assay development with human neurons derived from patient samples obtained at Boston Children\'s Hospital. Assays include, but are not limited to, functional (Axion MEA), biochemical (western blots), morphological (arrayscan analyses), and cell expression (Ion Torrent AmpliSeq whole transcriptome) data in high throughput and high content formats. Development and implementation of these assays within the Human Neuron Core in the Translational Neuroscience Center at Boston Children\'s Hospital will allow us to fully characterize patient-derived neurons with a well rounded suite of technology. These assays will also be utilized to develop medium to high throughput screens with the goal of identifying new tool compounds and pathways for targeting novel therapeutics for various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders.
