Henk-Jan Boele
M.D., Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate

Henk-Jan Boele, MD PhD, is a visiting researcher at PNI and an assistant professor at Erasmus University Medical Center. During his postdoctoral fellowship in the Wang Lab (2018-2021) he studied the effects of early-life cerebellar damage on autism developmental trajectories, using multi-photon imaging of dendritic spines in the neocortex. In…

Gerard Joey Broussard
Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Office: PNI A84H
Joey is a postdoctoral research associate who joined the lab following his graduate research at University of California, Davis. His research is focused on uncovering the principles of information encoding in the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell pathway of the cerebellum. He develops and utilizes novel genetically encoded tools and optical…
Mikhail Kislin
Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Office: PNI A84F

Mikhail is a postdoctoral research associate in the Wang Lab. He obtained his doctorate in Physiology and Neuroscience at the University of Helsinki, where he studied fine morphological alterations of neurons during brain injury and recovery with innovative optical in vivo imaging methods and developed research instruments for brain studies in…

Junuk Lee
Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Office: PNI A84C

Junuk is a postdoctoral research associate who joined the lab following earlier postdoctoral research at Princeton University and Stanford University, and graduate research at Seoul National University (South Korea). He is interested in the role of neuromodulators on synaptic and neuronal properties in the deep cerebellar nuclei.

Marlies Oostland
Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Office: PNI A84C

Marlies is a postdoctoral research associate who joined the lab following postdoctoral research at the University of Edinburgh (UK) and graduate research at the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands).
