Trinity Eddy, BS

Trinity received her B.S in Neurobiology at UC San Diego, where she worked in the lab of Dr. Nicola Allen at the Salk Institute. There, she studied the role of astrocytes in regulating visual plasticity in mice alongside Dr. Laura Sancho Fernandez. Post graduation, she began working with Dr. Jillybeth Burgado studying astrocyte lipid metabolic dysfunction using sporadic Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patient IPSCs.

She is now a first year student in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience PhD program here at Yale, and has joined the lab of Dr. Jiangbing Zhou for her doctoral work. The Zhou lab works to design novel drug delivery systems, with a key interest in delivering drugs more effectively to the brain. Trinity is broadly interested in the intersection between molecular neuroscience, drug design, and neurodegenerative diseases like AD.
