Bio
I am a developmental biologist with a background in immunology. I study the interface between the cellular defense systems of the developing embryo and its external environment. As an NIH-funded Postdoctoral Fellow at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California, San Diego), I focus on ABC transporters.
