Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
I am currently a neurosurgery resident at Columbia University Medical Center interested in local delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system. During my undergraduate studies I studied the impact of oxytocin on muscle stem cell repair. As a research fellow during medical school I worked on understanding how dietary interventions could help sensitize glioma cells to ferroptosis. Now as part of the Stockwell lab I work on inhibition of ferroptosis in various models of neurodegeneration, either through dietary intervention or local delivery of ferrostatins. The ultimate goal of this work is to develop translational therapies that can be taken into clinical practice.
