Postdoctoral Fellows:

Dr. Praveen Kumar joined the lab in 2018. He earned an M.Sc. in Biotechnology from Lucknow University in Lucknow, India in 2009. He obtained a Ph.D. in Molecular Medicine & Biotechnology from the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow, India in 2016. His Ph.D. dissertation investigated the effect of maternal thyroid hormone insufficiency on epigenetic modifications of developmentally regulated neuro-glial genes. His current projects focus on identifying genetic factors influencing SUDEP risk.

Dr. Man Si
rejoined the lab in 2018 after previously working in the lab from
2014-2016. She earned an M.S. in Pharmacology from Hebei Medical
University in Shijiazhuang, China in 2010. She
obtained a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Hebei
Medical University in 2014. Her Ph.D.
dissertation examined the involvement of PKC and PKA in norepinephrine-
and angiotensin II-induced modulation of cardiac IKs potassium currents.
Her current projects explore the role of epilepsy-related ion channels
in cardiomyocytes using patch clamp electrophysiology.
Graduate Students:

Kelsey Paulhus joined
the lab in 2019 as a Ph.D. student. She obtained her B.S. and M.S. in
Biology from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX in 2015 and
2017, respectively. Her current projects utilize conditional knockout mouse models to explore the brain regions contributing to cardiac dysfunction and SUDEP susceptibility.
