Expertise and Research Interests

My research is focused on the study of the human brain, both normal and in those people affected with illnesses such as schizophrenia and craniofacial disorders such as cleft lip and/or palate. My research focuses on mainly structural imaging via Magnetic Resonance Imaging. In general, I am interested in neurodevelopment. One other area of study I am involved in is in gender differences in the brain.
