My commitment to students is unwavering: to train versatile and "complete" clinical scientists who are critical thinkers, excellent researchers, and effective clinicians. Our laboratory is very active, and students are considered junior colleagues in every respect. Students have the freedom to initiate their own projects under my supervision, as well as contribute to ongoing projects in the laboratory. Creativity, independence, and the ability to work well with others are highly valued.
