Research Interests:
There are currently two main projects underway in my lab.

1) The role of schizophrenia-associated mutations in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This project involves a detailed molecular characterization of the protein phosphatase calcineurin in mediating the effects of working memory deficits.

2) The role of the RNA-binding protein Rbm3 in mediating synaptic plasticity associated with long-term memory formation.
