Emily passionately researches neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, neuroplasticity,
vision, and psychedelic science. She plans to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship before establishing
her own lab as an independent translational research scientist in academia.
Emily is experienced in cellular & molecular techniques, visual psychophysics, and clinical optometric methods such as OCT, electrophysiology, and perimetry. She aims to add fMRI to her repertoire.
