I have a keen research interest in neuro-regenerative medicine. After serving in the US Army, I attended Michigan State University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work on several research projects while an undergrad, including developing an open-source EEG hardware and software application capable of sonification of the time-series data. I moved across the Atlantic to do my MRes in Bioscience at Cardiff University, where my research focussed on the intersection of differential gene expression changes in FoxP1 CKO and HD brains and how these may relate to the differentiation of medium spiny neurons. My PhD project with Prof Anne Rosser, Dr Mike Taylor, and Dr Jonathan Brown at Cardiff and Exeter Universities further investigates the development and differentiation of medium spiny neurons in the context of clinical applications for cell replacement therapy in Huntington’s Disease.
