From a young age I have been interested in understanding the functionality, plasticity and modulation of the brain and it's smaller, interconnected parts; during my Biomedical Sciences bachelor's degree, I became even more excited about the prospect of investigating these aspects of neural circuits at the molecular level, and especially with a synthetic biology approach. I am excited to be a part of the lab and research of C. elegans, which is a fantastic model for combining high-throughput methods and bioinformatics with molecular biology, in order to affect and modulate the nervous system.
