    Cole Ferguson, M.D., Ph.D. | Assistant Professor, Principal Investigator

    I am a physician-scientist within the Neuropathology Division of the Pathology Department at UCSD. I am broadly interested in the regulation of chromatin and epigenetics by ubiquitin signaling during brain development. I am supported by a K08 grant from NICHD entitled, "Ubiquitin signaling in epigenetic regulation of neuronal development." My clinical role is as the director of ophthalmic pathology at UCSD.
