Biography

Postdoctoral research studying neurovascular mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease. Currently, my work focuses on visualizing coordinated transitions of repair processes in endothelial and smooth muscle cells during vascular injury and thrombosis. I completed my PhD studying brain vascular development, where I explored how neuronal activity shapes cerebrovascular architecture and how microglia-endothelial cell communication regulates brain vasculature using zebrafish as a model system.
