Dr. Yasmin Escobedo Lozoya

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2022/02/23

Following her philosophical curiosities into the realm of neuroscience, Dr. Yazmin Escobedo Lozoya has dedicated her career to answering questions like “how do we learn”? Yazmin first started her PhD at Duke University, which was a total culture shock after her childhood in Mexico. The shock of the productivity-based priorities of the academic community at Duke was too much for her and she left the program. However, Yazmin eventually came back to research through a technician position in a lab that

Dr. Charlotte Stagg

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2022/02/09

Dr. Charlotte Stagg has wanted to be a research scientist since the age of ten. After a slight detour into medicine, Charlotte was drawn back into neuroscience research during medical school when she used noninvasive recording and stimulation techniques to study stroke recovery. She eventually left the medical profession behind entirely and decided to get her PhD at the University of Oxford, where she investigated the role of inhibition in successful motor learning. For her postdoctoral research

2022/01/27

Throughout her career, Kate Hong has followed her curiosity to make amazing discoveries about how sensory information guides behavior in the brain. After finishing her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Brown University, Kate worked as a research technician in labs in immunology and cancer biology. However, it wasn’t until she was working in a neuroscience lab at the Max Planck Institute in Germany on a Fulbright Scholarship that she fell in love with research. Subsequently, she applied for

Dr. Farah Lubin

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2021/12/16

Farah Lubin began her career as a neuroscientist just as the field was starting to wake up to the world of epigenetics and neuroimmunological techniques. Armed with a background in immunology from her PhD at SUNY Binghamton, Farah turned her interests to understanding the brain. In her first postdoc with Dr. Anne Anderson at Baylor College of Medicine, Farah studied how transcription factors changed in disease states, specifically epilepsy. She used her second postdoc at the University of Alabama at

Dr. Kara Marshall

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2021/12/02

Kara Marshall’s research interests and trajectory in neuroscience have made her a bit of an outsider. After all, she studies the peripheral nervous system. Kara did her PhD research in Dr. Ellen Lumpkin’s lab studying touch perception. However, partway through her thesis, the Lumpkin Lab moved from Baylor College of Medicine to Columbia University, where she had to redo her qualifying exams and start on a completely new project. Undeterred, she defended her dissertation and continued to study the

2021/11/18

When Kia Nobre left her family home in Brazil to go to university in Massachusetts, she could never have known where her passion for science would eventually take her. After falling in love with neuroscience in undergrad at Williams College, Kia ended up pursuing a PhD at Yale where she studied human language processing, long term potentiation in animal models, and even was able to work with some of the first fMRI data ever collected. In her two postdocs, she continued to use fMRI to study global

Dr. Indira Turney

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2021/10/21

Dr. Indira Turney’s fascination with how the brain ages began when her grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. After growing up watching her grandmother lose her memories, Indira decided to leave the small Caribbean island where she had spent her childhood and went to the University of the Virgin Islands to study psychology. There, she got involved in clinical research and was immediately engaged with how neuroimaging tools like MRI can be used to study the process of memory and the aging brain

Dr. Lucina Uddin

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2021/10/07

As an undergraduate, Lucina Uddin found her calling for studying the neural bases of self-cognition via a self-described “process of elimination.” As a child of Bangladeshi immigrants, Lucina prized a career in medicine and started on the pre-med track. However, she found herself more engaged by questions of human intelligence and consciousness than excited by the path to medical school. With the guidance of a helpful mentor, Dr. Eran Zaidel, Lucina began her PhD at UCLA studying self-perception in

Dr. Talia Lerner

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2021/09/23

Dr. Talia Lerner knows that life as a scientist takes both dedication and risk. Talia began her career in science at Yale, where she was both brilliant and shy, struggling to muster the courage to ask to join labs for undergraduate research experience. However, her courage paid off and led her to a senior thesis in biochemistry then a productive PhD studying synaptic plasticity in dopamine systems at UCSF. Following her passion for studying dopamine, Talia then completed a postdoc at Stanford where
