Research Interests

Elucidate the role of sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling in the brain development of Down syndrome. Particularly, with genetic engineering and pharmacological tools, compare Shh-stimulation in cerebellum or hippocampus to localize hedgehog-mediated improvements in learning & memory in mouse/rat models for Down syndrome.
