Christina Mo

Principle Investigator

Christina Mo received a BSc Hons (Neuroscience) from the University of Western Australia and a PhD in Neuroscience from the Florey Institute at the University of Melbourne. She learnt cellular and circuit techniques during her postdoctoral training at the University of Chicago and returned to The Florey Institute to continue her research on the neural circuits of sensory processing and decision-making.

Nicole Martin

Research Assistant

Nicole completed a Master of Biomedical Science at the University of Melbourne in 2022. Her research was conducted with the Neural Networks team at The Florey and explored memory, learning and decision-making using widefield calcium imaging. Nicole has joined the lab to master other scientific techniques and continue exploring the neural pathways and circuitry which underpin decision-making.
