I recently received my PhD from the Department of Biology at UAB and am currently a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Liou Sun's lab. My research focuses on understanding how disruption of the growth hormone signaling pathway extends mammalian lifespan and how peripheral metabolism is altered in model systems of neurodegeneration. Ultimately, our group aims to identify the factors that influence the aging process in order to improve human longevity and health.
