Pronouns: he/him

I'm a postdoc in Andy Fire's lab at Stanford. I study the causes and consequences of gene architecture evolution, particularly as it relates to the evolution of increasingly complex nervous systems. I use comparative genomics across the tree of life combined with molecular genetics in nematodes and cephalopods, which are juxtaposed in the size and complexity of their genome, genes, and nervous systems.
