Neuroimmunological modulation in Psychiatric disorders, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Urban Ecology

Bio

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences and Psychology from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. As an undergraduate researcher, I performed physiological ecology field and lab studies on the Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus). I performed research in Psychology on the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in a Rat model using pharmacological means.

I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University-Weill Medical College in New York City where I performed research in Molecular Neurosciences in the Department of Pharmacology. I subsequently joined the Department of Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine as a Postdoctoral fellow where I took part in Systems Biology, Bioinformatics and Viral Immunology research.

I collaborated at Mount Sinai in the Department of Psychiatry as an Adjunct Assistant Professor where I continued my studies on the Immune modulation of the Nervous system in Psychiatric diseases.

My research projects at City Tech involve collaborations between members of the Biology, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Engineering Technology. These studies focus on Urban Ecology and examine the interface of human populations and their effects on the local flora and fauna. This research particularly focuses on the invasive rodent pest species that are so abundant in our city.

My Projects

Open Pedagogy on the OpenLab

Open Ped­a­gogy on the Open­Lab

The pur­pose of this pro­ject is to cre­ate a forum to ask ques­tions, gen­er­ate dis­cus­sion, and share teach­ing ma­te­ri­als, re­sources, and ideas about teach­ing and learn­ing on the Open­Lab. Avatar image: “The open door” by hehaden.

My Clubs

Green Spaces

Green Spaces

This Green Spaces club fo­cuses on De­sign in the Ser­vice of Sci­ence, on green urban ecosys­tems and the em­brace of na­ture for soon-to-open spaces at City Tech. The club wel­comes a di­verse array of per­spec­tives from bi­ol­ogy, de­sign, health care, lit­er­a­ture, his­tory, so­cial sci­ences, etc. So come, get your hands dirty, hang out with friends, find kin­dred spir­its, and take a stake in your back­yard at the col­lege.

Minority Association of Pre-Medical & Pre-Health Students (M.A.P.S.) Club

Mi­nor­ity As­so­ci­a­tion of Pre-Med­ical & Pre-Health Stu­dents (M.A.P.S.) Club

What is MAPS? -The Mi­nor­ity As­so­ci­a­tion of Pre-Health Stu­dents that pro­vides a net­work of pre-med and pre-health stu­dents and chap­ters na­tion­wide. What is the pur­pose of MAPS? -To pro­vide un­der­rep­re­sented pre-mhealth stu­dents with knowl­edge, skills, and ex­pe­ri­ence that are both pre­req­ui­site and con­comi­tant to pro­fes­sional par­tic­i­pa­tion in health care fields. -To im­prove mi­nor­ity ma­tric­u­la­tion into all pro­fes­sional health re­lated pro­grams, with an em­pha­sis on med­i­cine. -To fos­ter sup­port and serve as a re­source for cur­rent and fu­ture stu­dents in­ter­ested in health care.
