Munich, Germany

Assisted PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows from over 6 countries with numerous projects. Performed cellular biology and behavioral experiments to develop a technique to modulate coordinated neural dynamics and analyze their role in learning and memory in Control and Alzheimer's Disease Model mice. Increased experiment volume by producing basic electronic equipment for intracranial recordings.Successfully implemented the following methods:- targeted regional knockout of a floxed gene and expression of reporter via intracranial viral microinjection- electrophysiological recordings in freely moving mice- training with spatial memory task (T-maze) and evaluation of performance while viral knockout developed over time- immunohistochemical analysis of protein expression in hippocampus- analysis of electrophysiological and behavioral data to validate efficacy of the technique and potential effects on learning and memory
