Bryanna is currently an undergraduate majoring in Neural Science at NYU. Bryanna’s research journey started with her investigating the functional role and the molecular identity of Foxp2+ cells in the social brain network as a research assistant in Dr. Dayu Lin’s lab.
She spent her first summer as a BP-ENDURE fellow at Brown University, in Dr. Hwamee Oh’s lab researching biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. During her second summer, Bryanna was at Yale University in the Favuzzi lab exploring the circuits responsible for encoding and mediating peripheral immune responses. During the academic year, Bryanna is at NYU Grossman School of Medicine as an undergraduate research assistant in the Liddelow lab, where she investigates the role of reactive glia in neurodegenerative disease. Bryanna is now preparing to apply for Neuroscience Ph.D. programs in Fall 2024. She hopes to implement the skills she developed throughout her various lab experiences towards her own research questions about the circuit mechanisms of memory and how neurological disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, alter this process. |
