Howard University College of Medicine
I am Associate Professor (tenured) at the Department of Anatomy, Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC. My current research focuses on the evolution and development of the cardiopharyngeal field, a field that gives rise to head, neck, and heart musculature. Additionally, I aim to use the knowledge from my research to understand the pathology of congenital defects, which often affect both head and heart structures. I teach human anatomy and development to medical, dental, and allied health students.
