Information:
Education:
PhD in Craniofacial Sciences - Division of Bioengineering, University of California, San Francisco, Expected, 12/2005
BA in Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley, 12/2001
Research Mentor:
Grayson Marshall
Research Statement:
My research interests lie in the bridge of materials science engineering and biological science. Specifically, the effects of TGF-β signaling and its downstream effectors on mechanical properties and mineralization of bone matrix.
