Dr. Megan Corty was a graduate student in the Neurobiology and Behavior Program from 2005-2011. While she was in the lab Megan worked out how transcription factors interact to promote neuronal morphological diversity. She was also an NSF Graduate Fellow. She moved on to a postdoctoral position in Dr. Marc Freeman's lab at Oregon Health & Science University studying glial development and function, and is now and Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at University of Arizona.
