Personal profile
Biography
I received my PhD in Neurophysiology followed by postdoctoral training in Prof.Takao K. Hensch’s Lab at RIKEN Brain Science Institute of JAPAN studying experience-dependent plasticity of visual circuits. I joined Department of Physiology at Monash University in 2015.
Research interests
My research interests are;
- Plasticity of neurons and circuits, structural & physiological experience-dependent plasticity
- Developmental critical periods
- Inhibitory interneurons and network excitation-inhibition balance
- Neurodevelopmental disorders; schizophrenia and epilepsy
