I am currently a master's student at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine working underneath Dr. Hassen Wollebo studying a neurotropic virus known as JC. Upon the completion of my master's thesis, I would like to acquire my Ph.D.; my ultimate goal is to pursue the field of neuroscience with a focus in neuropathology, neuroimmunology and neurophysiology in order to conduct research on viral and parasitic infections of the CNS.
