I received my Ph.D. from UNAM in Mexico City. My research aims to reveal the mechanisms of circadian regulation of olfaction and sleep-wake. I combine multielectrode array recordings, real-time luciferase monitoring, olfactometry, and locomotor assays. Here are some of my recent publications.

I am from Belarus. Speaks Belarusian, Russian and English.

I did my undergrad in Belarus, Minsk – Bs. in Biology and Chemistry.  Graduation program in Plant Biology at National Academy of Science of Belarus. MS in Cell Biology at WashU.

Hobby: I like to ice-skate, gardening, cooking, and making the bread.

After my baccalaureate in engineering, I earned my Ph.D. from JNCASR, India where I studied circadian clock evolution and chronotypes. As a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow in Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, I explored the role of stochasticity in circadian clocks. Here in the Herzog Lab, I employ theory and experimental techniques to study network connectivity and synchronization of the SCN and seasonality in mice.

My other interests include psychology, philosophy and eastern mysticism.

I am a graduate student in the DBBS Neuroscience Program. In 2019, I graduated from the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey with a B.S. in Natural Sciences. After graduating, I joined the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) at UNC-Chapel Hill. Currently, I am interested in understanding how circadian rhythms regulate brain cancer progression and what approaches can we use to optimize current therapies by considering time of day.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, watching TV shows, and planning vacations (especially to Puerto Rico).

I am a graduate student in the DBBS Neuroscience Program. I graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2019. After college, I did research at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 2022, I joined the Herzog lab to study the neuronal properties by which circadian rhythms synchronize in the SCN to regulate multiple behavioral outputs. In my spare time, I like to draw, paint, and read literature.

I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry from the Faculty of Sciences at the University of the Republic (Uruguay) and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Neurosciences from the Program for the Development of Basic Sciences (PEDECIBA, Uruguay). I am interested in studying the synchronization of biological rhythms (such as activity-rest cycles, melatonin and cortisol rhythms, and neural activity) between caregivers and their children.

Outside of science, I love painting and writing, experiencing sunsets, and enjoying the colors of autumn.

I am an undergraduate planning to major in Biology on the Neuroscience track, and I joined the Herzog lab in January 2022. Currently, I study the rapid splitting of mouse circadian system rhythms in response to enhanced behavioral feedback. Outside of school, I can be found playing guitar and bass, going on road trip adventures, and reading history books.

I am an undergraduate student (junior) majoring in Neuroscience on a Biology track. I joined the Herzog lab in September 2022, researching daily rhythms in glioblastoma growth. I’m interested in the area of neuro-oncology and using chronobiology to improve the efficacy of existing treatments. In my free time, I love hiking with friends, playing tennis and violin, and watching some good movies.

I am an undergraduate student majoring in biology with a concentration in neuroscience. I joined the Herzog lab in spring of 2023. I study the role of the sodium leak channel in circadian rhythms of the mouse SCN. Outside of the lab, I enjoy watching and playing sports, going to the gym, and being out in nature.

I am a senior undergraduate biology major in the premed track at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. I am from southern Maryland. I am interested in neuroscience on my path to becoming a physician. I am studying how tumor growth affects activity and circadian amplitude. Some of my hobbies include singing, drawing and spending time with family.

I am an undergraduate student (rising sophomore) at WashU intended to major in Biology on the Computational Biology track. I joined the Herzog Lab in the summer of 2024. Outside of school, I enjoy cooking, baking, swimming, and playing Guzheng (a type of Chinese traditional music instrument).

I am an undergraduate senior majoring in Neuroscience on the Biology track and doing a second major in Psychology. I joined the Herzog lab in June 2024 and work closely under Paola. I intend to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience after my undergraduate education. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, reading, and watching shows.
