Kishore kuchibhotla, phd
Kishore grew up in Connecticut before going to MIT where he majored in Physics and Brain/Cognitive Science and minored in Political Science. He earned his PhD in Biophysics at Harvard University with Drs. Brian Bacskai and Bradley Hyman. He then did a postdoc with Dr. Robert Froemke at NYU. In his spare time, Kishore is a bit of a political junkie having worked in Washington, DC as a policy analyst and as a consultant at McKinsey. He likes to play tennis, basketball, eat other people's cooking, and watch the latest season of [insert binge-worthy show here].

Jennifer Lawlor, PhD
Jennifer grew up in Paris, France and received her PhD in Neuroscience from the Ecole Normale Supérieure working with Shihab Shamma and Yves Boubenec. Her work focused on the cortical representation of changes in complex, cluttered auditory scenes along the auditory pathway, She has joined the Kuchibholta Lab as well as the JHU Batlab to develop 2-photon calcium imaging in bats and study neural circuits underlying learning of flexible, context-dependent behaviors. Outside of the lab, she enjoys spending time with friends, curling up with a good book, and traveling.

Sharlen moore, PhD
Sharlen grew up in Mexico and moved to Germany to do a PhD in Neurosciences. She worked at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine with Dr. Livia de Hoz and Prof. Klaus-Armin Nave, studying the role of myelin in mice auditory processing. She then returned to Mexico to do a short postdoc at the UNAM, with Dr. Francisco Fernández de Miguel. There, she studied extrasynaptic serotonin release in the leech and participated in a project to understand how sounds modified the perception of visual art. She joined our lab to study neuromodulatory circuits that influence learning and to understand the role of astrocytes in context-dependent high-order functions. Besides science, she loves traveling, visiting museums and dancing.
