2016 - PhD in Neuroscience, Oregon Health & Science University
Dissertation: The Role of the Myotubularin Pseudophosphatase MTMR13 in Myelination and Disease.
This work is embargoed because of the broken incentive structure in academic research. Much of my dissertation research is published open access in An In Vitro Model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 4B2 Provides Insight Into the Roles of MTMR13 and MTMR2 in Schwann Cell Myelination.
