Morgan Wirthlin
- Postdoctoral Scholar
Morgan is the inaugural BrainHub postdoctoral fellow in the Computational Biology department and a member of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. Her work combines comparative genomics and experimental neurobiology to characterize the fundamental genetic & molecular properties of neural circuits for speech and vocal learning (ResearchGate profile).
Easwaran Ramamurthy
- PhD Student
Easwaran is a PhD student in Computational Biology interested in applying computational approaches, especially machine learning to solve biological problems. He also has prior training in experimental biology and hopes to use this broad understanding to delve deeper into the role of enhancer region variations in Alzheimer's disease.
Ashley Brown
- Lab Manager
Ashley is a technician with extensive training in molecular biology, cell culture, and virology. She is using high-throughput report assays in vivo to study how genome sequence controls gene expression in the brain.
John Apostolides
