Stephanie J. Bouley

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard University

In the lab of James Walker I am implementing a multi-pronged approach combining transcriptomics and proteomics to identify alterations in signaling pathways attributed to loss of neurofibromin, which plays a causative role in the genetic condition Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). This work is closely related to the work I carried out as a graduate student, and it was due to the support I received in my graduate work that I was able to travel to the NF Conference in Paris in 2018 and met my post-doctoral mentor. The ultimate goal of this work is to identify novel targetable pathways and biomarkers for NF1, as well as a greater understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlations between neurofibromin loss and NF1 symptoms.
