Meghan Van Zandt, PhD, is an associate research scientist at Yale University. Her research focuses on sex differences in various brain circuits. Van Zandt graduated from Salve Regina University and earned her PhD in biology in the laboratory of Janice Naegele at Wesleyan University. She recently published on sex differences in a histamine receptor mediated circuit regulating dopamine in the striatum as well as inherent differences in distribution of striatal interneurons and hopes to continue her work examining how changes in underlying brain circuitry, particularly those mediated by sex differences, can modulate both behavior and pathophysiology in rodent models and apply this knowledge to translational approaches.

Sergiy Yakovenko, PhD, is an associate professor at West Virginia University, where his lab studies the neuromechanical principles of motor control using experimental and computational approaches. Yakovenko received a BS in biophysics from the School of Radiophysics at Kharkiv National University in Ukraine and his PhD in neuroscience at the University of Alberta in Canada under the mentorship of Arthur Prochazka.
