Education Year 1998 BS in Microbiology and Physiology, Sourthern Illinois University at Carbondale 2003 PhD in Neuroscience, Rosalind Franklin of Health and Sciences/The Chicago Medical School 2003-2005 Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Medicine, University of Crete (Venetia Zachariou) 2005-2010 Postdoctoral Fellow, IMBB-FORTH, Dr. Yiota Poirazi Research Interests My research aims to understand the development of neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, such as working memory and long-term memory, to identify predictive changes in biophysical mechanisms in disease-states and test therapeutic regimens to prevent the emergence of neuropsychiatric symptoms. We use a multi-disciplinary approach, including behavioural tests, in vivo manipulations patch-clamp recordings from brain slices, field recordings from brain slices, biochemistry, histology and computational approaches.

Program
The School of Medicine, the Department of Biology and the Department of Psychology of the University of Crete, run the Graduate Program in Neurosciences in collaboration with neuroscientists from different Universities and Research Institutes in Greece and abroad.
The Program focuses on Cellular, Molecular, Systems, Translational and Clinical Neurosciences. Students receive strong, interdisciplinary training in neuroscience that will prepare them for careers in research, industry and teaching.
The Program leads to a Master’s Degree in Neuroscience after four semesters of courses and research laboratory work (laboratory rotations and master thesis).
