I am studying the emergence and dynamics of gene expression patterns underlying zebrafish pectoral fin regeneration Education B.S.E., Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Math, University of Pennsylvania, 2015M.A.St., Applied Mathematics, University

I am a cell/developmental biologist interested in the mechanisms underlying the robustness of adult tissue regeneration. My current project focuses on adult zebrafish spinal cord regeneration. Education Ph.D. 2021 University

Our group uses zebrafish as the primary model organism to investigate the mechanisms of innate tissue regeneration. We view tissue regeneration as a coordinated, whole-organism event, involving both local repair

I worked in the Poss Lab as part of my graduate program, and I am excited to join the Morgridge Institute! My broad interest lies in understanding how regeneration is
