Champagne Lab

Kathryn Gudsnuk - Research Assistant/Lab Manager

In 2007, I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor's degree, having studied Microcellular Biology, Physiology and Neurobiology and Spanish literature. I became interested in neurobiology, and found an advisor in Prof. Maria Rubio. Under her supervision, I studied the pathway of different neurons in the brainstem. I continued with a Master's in neuroscience (2009) with Prof. Jacob Harney at the University of Hartford, where I completed a thesis on the transgenerational effects of ketogenic diets on behavior and development. I am most interested in the molecular and morphological changes that result from the environmental disruptors.
