  Irvine, California, United States My postdoctoral work focused on understanding the formation of the jaw, one of the defining features of the vertebrate clade to which humans, along with all mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish belong. Issues with jaw development are among the most common human congenital disorders. Jaw development is a complex phenomenon that involves successive processes of cell migration, specification, patterning, differentiation, and three-dimensional morphogenesis.

Issues with jaw development are among the most common human congenital disorders. Jaw development is a complex phenomenon that involves successive processes of cell migration, specification, patterning, differentiation, and three-dimensional morphogenesis. I use a combination of approaches to understand these processes in a zebrafish model: FISH and HCR for in situ qualitative and semi-quantitative gene expression measurement, live imaging transgenic embryos on scanning confocal, spinning-disk, and light-sheet microscopes for cell migration and behavior analysis, and NanoString and RNA-seq for transcriptional profiling. For data analysis, I primarily work in Python, utilizing the NumPy, SciPy, pandas, Matplotlib, and scikit-learn packages. I have also used ImageJ scripting, and the Seurat package in R. Show less
