NINDSK99/R00 Awardee – January 2019

Ewoed Schmidt is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Neuroscience at Columbia University. Using a multimodal in vivo imaging approach, his research in the lab of Dr. Franck Polleux aims to uncover how the human-specific gene SRGAP2C controls neuronal circuit function, and consequently affects cognition and behavior. He earned a Ph.D. from UMC Utrecht, and received a MsC in neuroscience and cogntion and a BSc in biomedial sciences from Utrecht University.
