Biography

I completed my PhD in laboratory of Dr. Rene Hen, a world-expert on antidepressants, serotonin, and the hippocampus. I worked closely with Christine Denny, who was also a graduate student of the time. Christine's expertise was in learning and memory, while mine was in depression, neuroimmunology, and stress resilience. Dr. Denny is now faculty at Columbia University.
