Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research focuses on the circuit level analysis autism spectrum disorder (ASD). My work demonstrates that deficits in serotonin (5-HT) signaling produce social deficits seen in a mouse model of a prevalent ASD type, deletion of the 16p11.2 chromosome. We precisely identified the role of 5-HT release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in normal social behavior, and showed that rapid activation of a specific 5-HT receptor in the NAc reverses social deficits in the 16p11.2 deletion model.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research interests are to identify and to elucidate the key signaling pathways in Lowe Syndrome disease, and also to develop a targeted therapy for Lowe syndrome patients. So far, there is no treatment for Lowe syndrome. I have a broad background in cell biology, with specific training and expertise in protein trafficking and signaling pathways.
