Annie Park
PhD
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Annie is a postdoctoral fellow investigating how heterogeneity of dopamine neurons contributes to their ability to encode reward. Using the tiny but mighty fruit fly she is recording neuronal activity of individual dopamine neurons to understand how these physiological responses can tune reward seeking behaviour. Based on this work, Annie has also been awarded a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award.
