Research

I am a postdoctoral fellow working in the lab of Debbie Hay. My research is based on the CGRP family of hormones and receptors, with a current focus on understanding how this family is linked to migraine disease. I am currently funded by a New Zealand Neurological Foundation First Fellowship.
