Allison Walsh
Allison Walsh is a Ph.D. candidate in the Blakely Lab at FAU's Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, with a passion for all things neuroscience, especially serotonin and its crosstalk with the immune system. Her research explores how inflammation changes the way the brain regulates serotonin, focusing on the serotonin transporter, the protein that clears serotonin after it's released. She uses pre-clinical models along with molecular and imaging techniques to answer these questions. She also holds a Master of Public Health from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and loves bridging rigorous neuroscience with real-world applications that advance human health.

Tessa Dallo
Tessa Dallo is a Ph.D. candidate in neuroscience at FAU, where she studies how glial cells adapt to support and repair the nervous system, with a particular interest in cells that bridge the central and peripheral nervous systems. She believes that science has the greatest impact when it is shared with others beyond the laboratory. She is passionate about science communication and inspiring curiosity about neuroscience in the broader community.
