We are interested in understanding how the nervous system generates learning. One way to address this question is to identify and characterize conserved features in the underlying mechanisms. To accomplish this goal, we use Caenorhabditis elegans in our...

Maoting is from China. She became obsessed with biology when she was a undergraduate in Zhejiang University. She is now working on the role of alternative splicing in the learning and memory of C.elegans. By analysing the difference of splicing pattern...

Minghai obtained his PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China. During PhD study, he focused on dissecting neuronal circuit and molecular mechanisms underlying behavioral plasticity and nociception in C. elegans. As a...

Jingting is interested in investigating the neuronal mechanisms of learning at a whole brain level. By analyzing calcium dynamics under naïve and trained conditions , she will discover the neuronal circuits that underlie aversive learning in C. elegans...

Sahil completed his PhD at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in India. He used mathematical and computational tools to understand structural properties of robust chemical networks that can store 1 bit of memory. He also discovered "precise"...

Min is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying animal behaviors. She did her PhD work at University of Basel and ETH Zurich in Switzerland. During her PhD, she was focusing on the genetic basis of social interactions between parent and offspring...

Wenjing obtained her bachelor's degree from Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai, where she conducted a project exploring sex differences through connectome and behavior analysis. She is interested in neuroscience and all kinds of behaviors, including...
