Emily is going back to her beloved New York to start her very own lab researching how internal sensation affects behaviours in two species: Danionella and C. elegans. The Danionella fish species are some of the smallest vertebrates, and are transparent! Allowing for unparalleled visualisation of neurons within a vertebrate adult (much like our lab’s favourite model organism zebrafish larvae). C. elegans also offers this visual tractability (as well as genetic and experimental tractability). We’re so excited for Emily that she will have her own lab to explore the interesting world of internal sensation! Learn more about her new lab here
Congratulations to Emily who is starting her lab at NYU!
