Associate Dean of Graduate Studies
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology
Most of my efforts have been directed towards medical student education. This includes developing and teaching the Human Nervous System and Behavior course for second year medical and dental students. The course meets every morning for 8 weeks and involves approximately 70 faculty. The course includes lectures, tutorials, clinics and neuroanatomy laboratories. The course is a survey of the nervous system and cover it’s functional anatomy and physiology. In addition, I have been developing a new approach to medical education involving a progressive system of small group tutorial learning, in which each tutorial experience is more sophisticated and more demanding than its predecessor.
I have a small research effort which involves locating new sources of neural stem cells that have therapeutic potential. I am attempting to isolate neural stem cells from rat and human tissue.
