Dr. Neha Agrawal (Group Leader)
Biography: I did my PhD in Professor Gaiti Hasan’s lab at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, India where I studied the role of calcium signaling in regulating behavior. I started my postdoctoral research in Professor Pierre Leopold’s lab at the Institute of Biology Valrose, France where I examined the role of inter-organ communication in the nutritional regulation of growth. I then moved to Professor Andrea Brand’s lab at the University of Cambridge where I explored the genetic basis of obesity, in collaboration with Professor Sadaf Farooqi’s lab. I was also a Cambridge Borysiewicz Fellow and a Bye-Fellow with Murray Edwards College.
