Michelle Kim
About Me
Michelle Kim is a PhD student in the neuroscience multidisciplinary training area in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She is a member of Dr. Hala Harony-Nicolas’ lab where she is interested in applying circuit dissection tools to study pathways underlying social behavior in rodents. Prior to graduate school, Michelle earned her Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a concentration in neuroscience at Grinnell College. After undergraduate, she worked as a research technician in the lab of Dr. Thomas Kash at the UNC School of Medicine where she helped investigate how feeding behavior is mediated by the neuropeptide nociceptin in the central amygdala. Michelle also worked as a technician in the lab of Dr. Clyde Hodge at the UNC School of Medicine where she researched the role of the transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteinγ-8 (TARPγ-8) in ethanol operant self-administration behavior in mice.
