Archana Podury

Archana Podury received her undergraduate degree in Neurobiology & Behavior from Cornell University. At Cornell, she studied circuit motifs underlying motor control in the Goldberg lab, where she probed VTA/BG neuron function and built and implemented a fiber photometry system. She then worked at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and Neuralink to explore imaging and BCI methods development. As a medical student in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences & Technology program working jointly at the Boyden lab at MIT and the Rubin Lab at Harvard SCRB, she focused on developing and applying strategies for the imaging of brain organoids.
