Health Sciences Building, Room T-747
Refreshments Provided
Peter Groblewski recently joined the Allen Institute for Brain Science
where he is a Scientist in the Neural Coding group. He is applying his
extensive experience with rodent models of learning and memory to the
development of various virtual-reality foraging tasks in mice, including
those that will serve as the foundation for the institute’s Mindscope
project. In addition to his research, Peter manages the high-throughput
behavior facilities at the institute. In his seminar, he will describe his
transition out of academia and discuss his experiences balancing research
and management at a non-profit neuroscience research organization.
