Elizabeth Zhang

Elizabeth, while an undergraduate at MIT studying Brain & Cognitive Sciences (Course 9) on the pre-med track, was interested in learning more about neuron function, and inventing new tools for diagnosis and treatment. While in the lab, she worked on a project to map the connectome of the zebrafish brain with expansion microscopy.
