Maria Pia Rogines Velo-Sardi, M.D., Postdoctoral Fellow

Pia joined the Engle lab as a postdoctoral fellow in early 2002, following the completion of her PhD in Professor Rothlin's laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Buenos Aires. She is studying human expression of the CFEOM1 and CFEOM2 disease genes, KIF21A and PHOX2A.
