Neural crest cells comprise ~95% of all head, facial, and neck structures and give rise to a diverse range of derivatives in the head and throughout the body.

Current Focus
In general I am interested in developmental neuroscience which brought me to Jane's lab here at UT Southwestern. I am currently examining the role of Ascl1 (Mash1) in the development of spinal cord tumors which are prevalent in young children.
