Talia Lichtenberg

At Lewis & Clark College, Talia studied cell death in zebrafish neural development in the Weissman-Unni Lab and received the Barry M. Goldwater Fellowship. In 2020 she graduated summa cum laude with Departmental Honors in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology for her thesis investigating the influence of BMP signaling on clonal survival in the zebrafish hindbrain. Through the Yale MD-PhD program, she is continuing to study the mechanisms underlying neuronal cell interactions in the Grutzendler Lab.
