Graduate Students - Lab Technician
Frederick's research focuses on better understanding how the connections between the cerebellum and the neocortex in the brain change as people grow older. Through his research at Harvard Medical School, where he explored neuroimaging indicators of age-related changes, he has garnered recognition from platforms such as CNN, the L.A. Times, and…
Callan is a graduate student in Molecular Biology under the Rutgers-Princeton M.D./Ph.D. program. Before coming to Princeton, Callan's research involved work in psychiatric epigenomics at Mount Sinai and Yale with a focus on cell type-specific chromatin remodeling in schizophrenia. They are broadly interested in investigating cerebellar…
