Research interests include understanding how Rho GTPases regulate the actin cytoskeleton during axon outgrowth and growth cone morphology, as well as neuroblast polarization and migration. His work explores conserved mechanisms relevant to human developmental disorders and central nervous system recovery post-trauma.
