    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    My laboratory is interested in understanding the molecular mechanism regulating the generation of cell-surface neural identities by Clustered Protocadherin genes. This process is of fundamental importance to the assembly of neural circuits in the mammalian brain.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
