معرفی
Sarah Emerson is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Neuroscience at Yale School of Medicine, Yale University. She holds a PhD in Biology from the University of Vermont (2019) and a BSc (Honors) in Biology from the University of Bath (2011). Her research focuses on neurodevelopmental mechanisms, particularly using zebrafish as a model organism. Key areas include cell adhesion dynamics in neurite placement, semaphorin signaling pathways, and protein kinase regulation in nervous system development.
Her work spans molecular biology, developmental biology, and genetics, with recent studies exploring how differential adhesion influences neural tissue organization and how genetic mutations in proteins like Shootin-1 disrupt neurodevelopment. Articles from 2017–2021 highlight her contributions to understanding axon guidance, synaptic formation, and signaling cascades critical for embryonic nervous system patterning.
Emerson collaborates with labs such as the Colón-Ramos Lab, advancing interdisciplinary approaches to neurodevelopment. No awards or grants are explicitly listed, though her publications reflect active engagement in cutting-edge research. She is affiliated with the Colón-Ramos Lab at Yale, located at 100 College Street, New Haven, CT.
