About me
My major research interest has always been centered around the development
and function of neural cell types. During my PhD, I studied transcriptional
determinants of specific neurons including the dopaminergic and serotonergic
cells of the brain. I thereafter transitioned my research focus to the
“Brain in the gut” – the Enteric Nervous System, during a postdoc at
National Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill, London, UK. Since 2013,
I have led my own research group at the Department of Medical Biochemistry
and Biophysics.
Research
My research team focuses on neural cell diversity in the Enteric Nervous
System (ENS). By determining the variety of ENS cell subtypes, the
functions they normally serve and their developmental specification we aim to
improve diagnostic and therapeutic principles for gut disorders. The lab
addresses these basic but critical questions by transcriptome analysis
coupled with viral-based activity/gene manipulations primarily using the
mouse model.
