A cabinet of curiosities.

Exploring common ancestry and evolutionary change through comparative genomics, phylogenetics, gene-family analysis, and molecular evolution. Codon usage offers another scale at which to examine sequence change.

Uncovering biological patterns through computational analysis, from whole genomes to individual cells. I am interested in scientific computing and reproducible workflows that make assumptions inspectable.

Individual cells reveal variation that tissue averages can obscure. I am interested in cell identities, gene expression, and the relationship between cellular heterogeneity and liver biology.

How do nervous systems support cognition and behavior? This interest connects my biological foundation with questions about the mind and human experience.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of neurology and psychiatry, including neuropsychiatry. These are intellectual interests and future learning directions, not clinical specialties I hold.

I am interested in how gene regulation and cellular processes connect molecular variation with tissue function, development, and disease.

How do observations become evidence, and how do scientific explanations change? Historical and philosophical inquiry helps me reflect on the assumptions behind contemporary research.

I hope to connect biological discovery with medicine. Regenerative medicine and the possibilities of cellular repair are part of this broader interest in translating mechanisms into questions about care.
