Educational Background

Postdoctoral Fellow, Neurosurgery, Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Yale University, 2013
Ph.D., Pharmacology, State University of New York at Buffalo, 2008
B.S., Biochemical Pharmacology, State University of New York at Buffalo, 2003

Research Interests

The Feliciano lab translates fundamental biological knowledge about the brain into clinically relevant ideas. They achieve this by studying gene mutations that cause cancer, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders, and intellectual disability.
