Arnaldo Carreira-Rosario 
Principal Investigator
Arnaldo obtained a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Biotechnology from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez and his Ph.D. in Genetics & Development from UTSouthwestern. As a post-doc, Arnaldo received training in “systems neurodevelopment” at Stanford University and the University of Oregon.  There, he studied circuits underlying locomotion and how neural activity emerges during development.

Outside the lab, Arnaldo likes to stay active by playing soccer and biking.  He also enjoys trying new restaurants and traveling to visit friends and family.
Cassie Kao
Undergraduate Researcher
Cassie is a freshman majoring in neuroscience on the pre-health track.  She is particularly interested in how abnormal neural development during pregnancy leads to developmental delays as well as the relationship between epilepsy and mental retardation. She hopes to use Drosophila to model neurological dysfunction and apply her knowledge in the future as an Occupational Therapist for children with autism or traumatic brain injury.
Tatiana Taylor-Williams
​Undergraduate Researcher
Tatiana is a second-year student at Duke University, where she is pursuing an academic path towards a major in Neurobiology, followed by a minor in Chemistry, all while maintaining her commitment to the Pre-medical track. Born and raised in the lively city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Tatiana brings a diverse and dynamic perspective to her studies. Outside of her academic pursuits, Tatiana enjoys engaging in social activities with friends and occasionally dedicating time to her fitness regime.
