Aaron Talsma

Hospital Resident

Aaron's thesis investigated the macrophages responding to peripheral nerve injury. Prior to his MSTP training, he studied genetic epilepsy models using Drosophila, focusing on Sodium-Potassium ATPase (NKA) mutants, some of which were based on human epilepsy mutations. He was band director and band member for the SWRU student-run free clinic fundraiser. He also served as a small group facilitator and clinical skills preceptor in medical school.
