I am a post-doc in John Svaren's lab, housed in the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our lab is broadly interested in transcriptional mechanisms which control the development of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Specifically, we investigate the regulatory mechanisms which control Schwann cell specification and maturation, and how these mechanisms go awry in human peripheral myelinopathies. Additionally, we are interested in transcriptional control of lipogenesis, as lipid is a core constituent of myelin.
