Postdoctoral Associate

Baylor College of Medicine•  December 2023 - Present•  Houston, TX

Development of genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) to study electrophysiological activity in the brain. Worked on the optimization and high-throughput screening of GEVIs, such as FORCE2, and improvements in photostability and brightness. Contributed to the creation of a single-cell screening platform to study response variability in neurons, with an emphasis on achieving higher assay throughput and precision. Provided technical guidance and mentorship to students and collaborated with colleagues on various projects.
