Dr Gunes Unal was awarded the Blaschko Fellowship of the Department of Pharmacology and has joined Professor Somogyi’s laboratory as a postdoctoral scientist for two years. He will join the work on analysing neuronal circuits contributing to the cell type specific firing patterns during rhythmic cortical activity.
Dr Unal completed his early studies in Turkey graduating with BA from Boğaziçi University in Psychology. He then went on to Rutgers University, Newark to complete his DPhil in Behavioural & Neural Sciences under the supervision of Dr Denis Paré and spent a further period in the Paré laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher.
