Research Interests: Gliomas, glioma-microenvironment interactions, neurocognition, postoperative recovery and neuroplasticity
My research focuses on understanding the influence of glioma subtype on modulating local neuronal excitability and its impact on cognitive deficits. By combining behavioral, circuit-level, and cell biology approaches, my project aims to characterize tumor-microenvironment interactions responsible for neurologic deficits to provide a framework for improving clinical recovery.
