I work on a new field that allows scientist to generate stem cells from each individual's blood and then to create models of the human brain in a dish, something that was considered science-fiction when I took my first biology classes.

I greatly value the opportunity to engage with peers, share our work, and inspire the enthusiasm of emerging young scientists. 

I love learning, and I am intrinsically curious. By far the most rewarding part of the job is engaging in scientific discussions about data with my colleagues and members of my team.
