Meet Dr. Aristea Galanopoulou, currently a Professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine studying models of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies and post-traumatic epilepsy to identify mechanisms, therapy targets, biomarkers and treatments for epilepsies across the lifespan.

Meet Dr. Hoda Gebril currently a Research Assistant Professor at Rutgers University focusing on developing nano-based technology to combat neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's.

Meet Dr. Wei Wen currently a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Turrigiano Lab at Brandeis University studying the signaling mechanisms that underlie the co-induction of intrinsic and synaptic homeostatic plasticity, and how these mechanisms are developmentally regulated.

Meet Dr. Kimron Shapiro, currently an Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at University of Birmingham. Kim’s research focuses on understanding how the brain stores and retrieves multimodal events, particularly auditory and visual.

Meet Dr. Feng Feng currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Zakharenko Lab at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital focused on data analysis of calcium imaging data of mouse models of schizophrenia.

Meet Dr. Aditya Singh currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Obenaus Lab at University of California Irvine studying the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury.

Meet Dr. Gandhervin Kesavamoorthy currently a researcher in the School of Medicine, Department of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong. He is interested to understand how parenchymal and peripheral signals modulate brain microglia.

Meet Dr. Umberto Olcese currently working at the University of Amsterdam focused on studying the neuron-level mechanisms of perception.

Meet Dr. Zoltan Simandi currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Cremins Lab at the University of Pennsylvania focused on understanding the molecular underpinnings of neural cell fates in development and disease.

Meet Dr. Baris Alten currently a Neurology Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School focused on the mechanisms of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies associated with mutation of the presynaptic fusion machinery.
