Academic Focus
I'm broadly interested in physiology and behavior with specific focuses on endocrinology, neurobiology and reproduction.
Research and Background Highlights
I am interested in research aimed at improving human health.
My current research projects focus on using mouse behavior as a model for human health. Using this approach, I am currently focused on validating a mouse model of autistic-like behavior.
I am also collaborating with Loma Linda University Medical Center to study the effects of prenatal masculinization on human development.
