I am currently on the job market searching for tenure track faculty positions! My research program will study immune cell- intervertebral disc (IVD) crosstalk during injury repair and during spinal column development. I utilize mouse and chick embryo models and techniques such as single cell sequencing, live-cell lineage tracking, and flow cytometry to uncover the cellular and mechanistic regulation of IVD repair and development.
