My main research interest is understanding how dysregulation of the microtubule network can lead to neurological disease. For my graduate training at Vanderbilt University, I have decided to complement my undergraduate studies on model organisms with protein-centered, microscopy-oriented research, under Dr. Marija Zanic. Our laboratory focuses on studying how a myriad of microtubule-associated proteins modulate microtubule dynamics and organization, using multidisciplinary in vitro reconstituti... My main research interest is understanding how dysregulation of the microtubule network can lead to neurological disease. For my graduate training at Vanderbilt University, I have decided to complement my undergraduate studies on model organisms with protein-centered, microscopy-oriented research, under Dr. Marija Zanic. Our laboratory focuses on studying how a myriad of microtubule-associated proteins modulate microtubule dynamics and organization, using multidisciplinary in vitro reconstitution approaches. This research environment will not only help me develop mastery of cutting-edge experimental techniques in molecular and cell biology, protein biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering, but it will also facilitate my training in literature discussion, scientific writing, oral presentations, and critical thinking.
