Josh Berman Email & Phone Number

I am a current undergraduate student at Boston University majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Mathematics. As a Freshman in college, I was invited to join the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and I have made Dean’s List 4 of my 6 completed semesters. I currently aim to pursue my studies through a PhD in Neuroscience, and pursue research of neurodegenerative diseases and ultimately professorship.I have taken leadership roles both inside and outside of a laboratory setting. Inside the lab, I have been tasked with designing and overseeing the analysis of computational experiments in cognition and vision, as well as presenting these ideas and findings to superiors and other lab groups. I have also been tasked with performing and analyzing social behavior assays in mice models, and formatting and presenting these results to my Principle Investigator. Outside of the lab, I have served as the Treasurer and President of a 30+ member student group. As President, I was in charge of overseeing weekly group and officer meetings, as well as managing campus-wide events (300+ students in attendance) and maintaining rapport with outside organizations. In addition to the aforementioned computational experiments, I have also conducted experiments both in-vivo and in-vitro. These experiments required knowledge of how to perform a trans-orbital injection on Long Evans rats, as well as how to culture select plasmids and implant them into Y5 cells. Both of these experiments were focused on protein abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease. This past summer, I participated in the Onward Israel internship program. I worked at the University of Haifa, Israel, performing social behavior and histological experiments in ASD-associated mouse line models. Recently, I have been hired as a Research Intern at ALS Therapy Development Institute. My job is to handle and process blood samples from human ALS patients collected from around the country, in the hopes of uncovering potential disease biomarkers.Let's connect!(612)-840-5289Berman.josh.h@gmail.com
