Research Interests

My primary research focus is within education investigating the effectiveness of teaching modalities in anatomy education. Medical education is built on a strong understanding of human anatomy. I strive to utilize my research to enhance student experiences and success while providing a clear understanding of anatomy and the skills needed to be successful medical professionals. My overall goal is to foster an encouraging and dynamic learning environment that inspires curiosity and passion within future medical professionals. My secondary research interested is in the impact of neuroprotective drugs on the hereditary blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. My research has focused on investigation the impacts of known neuroprotective drug, (+)-Pentazocine on the structure and function of retinas that have retinitis pigmentosa induced through the P23H mutation
