Postdoctoral researcher in the McManus lab at the University of California, San Francisco.
My long-term goal is to establish a research group focused on understanding morphological structures that facilitate cell-cell communication and the use of RNA as a form intercellular communication. I am particularly interested in understanding how specialized cell structures such as the immune synapse (a highly dynamic and organized structure) are organized to facilitate cell-cell conversations. I am fascinated by the potential of extracellular RNA as a form of communication between cells, especially at the immune synapse.
