Research Interest:
I am fascinated by the complexity of the central nervous system and motivated to contribute to a deeper understanding of how its structure and function give rise to behavior. During my PhD, I investigated the role of a neurovascular guidance molecule (Flrt2) in zebrafish development, using the retina as a highly conserved and accessible model for CNS development and function. By combining molecular and cellular approaches with visual behavior assays, I linked developmental phenotypes to functional and behavioral outcomes. Building on this foundation, my future research aims to move beyond single-gene analyses toward a more integrative understanding of how neural circuits process sensory information in complex environments and generate appropriate behavioral responses, leveraging the strengths of the zebrafish model system.
