Ian joined the Grinberg Lab in the Fall of 2018 as an undergraduate research assistant due to his interest in neurodegeneration, following years of research experience in behavioral and molecular neuroscience. After graduating from UC Berkeley in 2021 with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology and Data Science, he continued his work at the lab as a full-time staff research associate. His work ranges from wet lab bench work to imaging and microscopy to data analysis and scripting; currently he is working on multiplex histology projects that evaluate the expression and colocalization of multiple markers across various pathologies and stages. Ian hopes to eventually pursue a research medicine career in neuroscience and is a firm believer in the scientific method. Outside of lab, Ian enjoys photography (analog/digital), assembling electronics, and skiing.
