Welcome, Amanda!

September 01, 2023

 

We are very happy to announce that Amanda González-Segarra has joined our lab today as a postdoctoral fellow. Amanda comes from Kristin Scott´s lab in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at UC Berkeley, where she completed her Ph.D. in June 2023.

The work that resulted from her research in the Scott lab can be found here. This fascinating paper described and characterized a peptidergic network in Drosophila involved in coordinating nutrient-specific consumption needs for food or water.
