Aberrant cholinergic signaling, too much, too little, extended or prolonged, may negatively affect these processes and therefore the identification of proteins that can modulate cholinergic signaling becomes of significant interest.
In 2015 she received her Doctoral degree in Neuroscience from the University of Vermont.
