Janelia Farm Research Campus, VA, United States
- This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
Scott received his PhD in Chemistry from Harvard University, working with Stuart Schreiber on the synthesis and development of new probes to manipulate cellular function. After realizing a desire to work on a fundamental behavioral problem using molecular genetics integrated with neurophysiology, he did a postdoc with Jeff Friedman at Rockefeller University and also worked in Karel Svoboda’s lab (then at Cold Spring Harbor) to map molecularly-defined neural circuits regulating feeding behavior. At Janelia Farm, Scott has been focused on understanding the circuit mechanisms underlying basic motivations such as hunger.
