Academic Background:

Upon completion of his PhD from Duke University, Dr. Cox conducted his post-doctoral studies at the University of California, San Francisco, where he was a Jane Coffin Childs Fellow for Medical Research.
 

Research Interests:

Dr. Cox's research interests include developmental neurogenetics with a specific emphasis on the molecular mechanisms regulating dendrite development & behavior; additionally, he maintains long-standing interests in the molecular mechanisms governing stem cell divisions together with the regulation of cell fate and cell polarity determination.
