Chris received his B.S. in psychology (with a focus in clinical psychology) from Arizona State University and his PhD in neurobiology and behavior from Wesleyan University. He then joined Dr. Lisa Boulanger's lab at Princeton University to perform his postdoctoral research in neuro-immunology. There, he became a New Jersey Association for Clinical and Translational Science Fellow and discovered that the host immune response to adeno-associated virus can cause damage to dendritic arbors in cortex.

I am Retwika Ganguly. I am a graduate student at Montclair State University with a Molecular Biology major. Presently I am working on how Toll-like receptor signaling modulates the foraging behavior in C. elegans in a hunger state-dependent manner. Based on many studies so far, the importance of TOL-1 in pathogen avoidance has been well established, but its role in foraging has not been examined yet. Apart from that, I am also interested to know about the extracellular signaling of Tol-1 – what does Tol-1 bind to – is it a bacterium, or virus or a fungus? In order to do that, I am trying to use clustal omega (a bioinformatics tool) for multiple sequence analysis. I wish to work as a researcher in the Pharmaceutical industry after I graduate

I am an undergraduate research student at Montclair State University majoring in Biology with hopes to get into medical school in the next couple years. While my specialty in medicine is still uncertain, I have always had an attachment to neuroscience and the complexities of the nervous system and the brain. By working alongside Dr. Suriano, I am hoping to cultivate my passion for research, medicine and neuroscience.

I am an undergraduate student at Montclair State University, majoring in Molecular Biology. Under the supervision of Dr. Suriano, I am excited to continue my love for neuroscience by studying the effects of gene therapy vectors, such as adeno-associated virus, on the brain. I hope to attend medical school to become a physician.

I am an undergraduate student majoring in molecular biology on the pre-med track at Montclair State University. I am aiming to pursue medical school after graduation and become a doctor. I enjoy learning about the brain because the research is limitless as we have not discovered everything yet!

I am an undergraduate student at Montclair State University pursuing a major in Biology and minors in Psychology and Chemistry following a pre-med track.

I am a second-year student at MSU majoring in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology on a pre-med track.
