Dana is an HMNS student that has supported many of our projects by sectioning brains and scoring videos of our cichlid and sunfish systems

Elana is an undergraduate student in QC’s neuroscience program and her project focuses on the brain-specific changes that occur with the extra cellular matrix.

Sara is a junior at Queens College CUNY and she is currently studying the behavioral differences between blue and yellow morphs of Astatotilapia burtoni and how it regulates aggressive and reproductive behaviors.

Seulbi is a NYU graduate with a B.A. in Mathematics and has 2 years experience teaching math. She is currently a post-baccalaureate here at Queens College CUNY and is characterizing the pigmentation differences of Astatotilapia burtoni under natural variations of lighting.

Courtney is a Macaulay Honors Student currently looking at pigment cell biology in vitro with ongoing cell sorting and culture experiments.

Chaya is an HMNS student in her Junior year at Queens College and she is currently studying how social status affects coloration in male Astatotilapia burtoni.

Andrew Claros is a MARC-U-STAR developing a UI for our ML-fish segmenter and he is studying behavioral patterns in morphs of A. burtoni

Tamara is our resident fish whisperer and she is interested in the neural substrates underlying differences in blue and yellow morphs of A. burtoni.

Yael is a MARC-U-STAR student studying how the visual environment shapes developmental pigmentation patterns and neural substrates in adults.

Zehava is a junior currently curating datasets for our developing ML-enabled segmentation pipeline for quantifying ROI coloration.

Sofia is an HMNS student at Queens College CUNY and is characterizing behavioral patterns between blue-yellow morphs of Astatotilapia burtoni

Joseph is a Stony Brook graduate with a B.Sc. in Psychology . He is currently an accelerated graduate track Master’s Student at Queens College CUNY. His work is exploring the interactions between retrotransposition and social status in an African cichlid, Astatotilapia burtoni.
