Education Year 1998 BS in Microbiology and Physiology, Sourthern Illinois University at Carbondale 2003 PhD in Neuroscience, Rosalind Franklin of Health and Sciences/The Chicago Medical School 2003-2005 Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Medicine, University of Crete (Venetia Zachariou) 2005-2010 Postdoctoral Fellow, IMBB-FORTH, Dr. Yiota Poirazi Research Interests My research aims to understand the development of neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, such as working memory and long-term memory, to identify predictive changes in biophysical mechanisms in disease-states and test therapeutic regimens to prevent the emergence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. We use a multi-disciplinary approach, including behavioural tests, in vivo manipulations patch-clamp recordings from brain slices, field recordings from brain slices, biochemistry, histology and computational approaches.
