About

Dr. Scott Albert (2nd year T32 awardee) received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University working with Dr. Reza Shadmehr. His research examines resilience in motor circuits across humans and mice. As a UNC CIDD T32 Fellow, Dr. Albert works with Dr. Adam Hantman, in examining whole-brain maps of motor activity in mouse models of Angelman Syndrome and Dup15q Syndrome. He will use fMRI and electrophysiology to identify how UBE3A expression regulates the adaptability and robustness of motor control circuits.
