Associate Researcher
University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Neurology

Throughout the years, my research has focused on learning and memory and epilepsy.  I have utilized immunocytochemical techniques and in situ hybridization techniques to help study neuronal connectivity and activity.  I have been involved in exciting in vivo neurophysiologic experiments on rodents focusing on the neuronal mechanisms that underlie the spread of seizures into normal cortex from focal areas of origin.  These skills will serve me well in the Burger lab where I will assist in the delivery of virus in to the animal models, behavioral studies, and the visualization of protein and mRNA in these animals.
