My goal is to apply molecular biology techniques to understand interactions between the central nervous system and peripheral immunity in disorders of the brain. My current research as a postdoc at Ohio State University focuses on effects of traumatic brain injury on the stress response.

Sleep fragmentation (SF) aggravates microgliosis after TBI, increasing neuroinflammation and impairing recovery. We used flow cytometry and microglia-specific RNA sequencing to investigate the mechanisms through which microglia contribute to impairment following post-TBI SF. Through our in-depth analysis, we identify independent and combined effects of TBI and SF on the microglial transcriptome 30 days after injury.
