About Me
Aleta Murphy is a PhD Candidate in the Yang Lab in the Department of Neuroscience. Before starting the program, she completed her Master's of Biomedical Science at Mount Sinai in 2021, in the lab of Dr. Kristen Brennand. Her Master's thesis work focused on understanding the impact of a rare genetic variant associated with schizophrenia on neural development using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoid models. Prior to her Master's degree, Aleta worked as a laboratory technician in the Junn Lab in the department of Neurology at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, studying microRNA function in both Parkinson's Disease and Spinal Cord Injury.
