Keshini Kulathevanayagam

Current interests: As a Medical student and former Part II Geneticist, I have developed a fervent interest in the genetic underpinnings of  neurological and gynaecological conditions. Over the summer in the Masuda-Nakagawa lab, I was able to conduct research into the neural circuitry of larval Drosophila, and its relation to behavioural functions and disorders of the mammalian brain

Current Affiliation: Clinical student at Christ's College, University of Cambridge
