Dave is an MD-PhD student in the Forcelli Lab as a part of the IPN. Broadly, he is interested in neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and the pathogenesis of disease in the CNS. In the Forcelli Lab, he researches the contribution of senescent cells to the development of multiple forms of epilepsy, using techniques ranging from electrophysiology to behavior tests. When he isn’t in the lab, Dave spends his time winning pub trivia, baking, or hanging out with his wife, Chris, and his dog, Chip.
