Carolina Rezaval
|
Carolina was born in Patagonia, Argentina. She received a Masters and Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Buenos Aires. She did her post-doctoral research at the University of Oxford, where she studied the genetic and neural basis of innate sexual behaviours in Drosophila. As a BBSRC researcher co-investigator in Prof. Stephen Goodwin’s lab at Oxford, she focused on understanding how the brain differs between the sexes, and how these differences explain distinct behaviours shown by male and female flies. Carolina has been appointed Birmingham Fellow in the School of Biosciences at the University of Birmingham, and has started her independent research group in April 2018.

Sherry Cheriyamkunnel is currently a final-year undergraduate student at the University of Birmingham. She was awarded the Genetics Society Summer Studentship Award to investigate the presence of translating ribosomes in the transcription sites of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe with Dr Saverio Brogna. Her research project with Dr Carolina Rezaval focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying behavioural conflicts in the fruit fly Drosophila. |
