NINDS K99/R00 Awardee - January 2017
Independent Position: Dartmouth College, Hanover
Dr. Robert Hill is an Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at the Dartmouth College, Hanover. He was a Postdoctoral Scholar with Dr. Jaime Grutzendler in the Neurology and Neuroscience Departments at Yale School of Medicine, New Haven. There, he aimed to develop and implement a novel set of tools that allows the spatiotemporal examination of myelin formation, regeneration, and axon-oligodendrocyte dynamic interactions in the live mammalian brain. This work provides a foundation to study and understand how these fundamental processes are altered in numerous disease states. He received his Ph.D. in physiology and neurobiology at the University of Connecticut and earned his BS in neuroscience and cognitive science from Trinity College-Hartford.
