SeulAh KimI am a Neuroscience PhD student in Bernardo Sabatini's Lab at the Harvard Medical School, where I study mechanism and function of neurotransmitter co-release using electrophysiology, optogenetics, and model simulation. I joined the Harvard PiN program in 2016 and worked on rotation projects with Jan Drugowitsch and Wei-Chung Lee. Prior to starting PhD, I was a research assistant in Larry Synder's lab at Washington University School of Medicine. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 2015. As an undergrad, I worked in ShiNung Ching's lab. |
