We are pleased to welcome Dr Eric Tam to the Unit. Dr Tam joins Dr David Dupret’s Group as a visiting scientist to progress research on a BBSRC-funded grant awarded in collaboration with Professor David Bannerman (Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford) and Dr Stephen McHugh.

Eric received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of Nottingham, where he investigated the role of the hippocampus in appetitive conditioning and interval timing. After his Ph.D., Eric moved to the University of Oxford to work on the role of retinal photoreceptors in modulating recognition memory performance. During his time in the Unit, Eric will examine the role of dentate granule cells in hippocampal network activity in vivo.
