Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program at UC Davis

Celena Lozano graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior in June 2019. She is currently working in the Cheng Lab studying adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus. The integration of newborn granule cells in the hippocampal circuitry of the adult brain is involved in learning and memory, and disruption of these new connections is associated with neurological disorders. Celena uses immunofluorescent array tomography to investigate the molecular differences between the adult and aged brain at the newborn granule cell-CA3 pyramidal cell synapse.
