Mark Gradwell, PhD
Mark received both his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Science and graduate degree in Human Physiology from the University of Newcastle, Australia. During his graduate studies he used electrophysiological techniques to dissect the complex neuronal microcircuits underlying sensory coding within the spinal cord dorsal horn. He has a particular interest in inhibitory interneurons, and how inhibition modulates sensory experience.
Manon Bohic, PhD
Manon received her master's degree in Biology of development and graduate degree in Neuroscience from Aix-Marseille University in France. During her PhD she studied sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system involved both in affective touch and in pain modulation, by behavioral and molecular genetic approaches. As a postdoctoral fellow in Abraira Lab, Manon aims to discover the extent of the role of pleasant touch in physiological and pathological contexts, by deciphering its neurobiological substrate.
