Fallon Curry B.S.

Background

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, also referred to as the City of Bridges, or the Steel City, depending on who you ask. Seeking new horizons, I decided to travel down country roads to Virginia Tech. While there, I pursued a B.S. in Neuroscience with minors in Spanish and Public Health. While in school, I wanted to take my education beyond the book, and sought out research opportunities to do so. I joined the lab of Dr. Michelle Olsen during my junior year, where I studied astrocyte development and morphology. Additionally, I had the opportunity to partake in a summer research fellowship before my senior year. I studied under Dr. Shannon Farris, who examines the role of hippocampal area CA2 in encoding social memory. When not in the lab, I love to listen to music, bake, and cheer on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
