A warm welcome to Dr Amy Wolff

We are pleased to welcome Dr Amy Wolff to the Unit as a Postdoctoral Neuroscientist in the Magill Group. Amy obtained her undergraduate B.A. (hons) degree in Psychology from the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, after which she continued her studies there under the supervision of Professor David Bilkey, graduating with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 2011. Amy comes to the Unit after working as a Roche Postdoctoral Fellow with Professor Dimitri Kullmann (University College London), Professor David Bannerman (University of Oxford), and Dr Dennis Kaetzel (UCL/Oxford). As part of her recent work, Amy utilised chemogenetic and optogenetic techniques to explore how the dysfunction of different types of neurons might be involved in schizophrenia.

Here in the Unit, Amy will be working closely with Dr Paul Dodson and Professor Peter Magill on a project investigating the in vivo firing properties of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.
