Welcome to our new PhD students!

We are excited to welcome our new Neuroscience PhD Program students into our community and to support them in their scientific development. The new students include seven members of the incoming class of 2025, as well as four students who have joined us from the labs of Liberty Hamilton and Alex Huth. Hamilton and Huth are both new Neuroscience faculty members and Berkeley Neuroscience PhD alums who recently joined the UC Berkeley faculty from the University of Texas at Austin.

Members of the incoming class of 2025 are: India Carter, Stefan Hajduk, William Liu, Jason Miller, Sam Reifenstein, Natalia Stone, and Taylor Li

New transfer students are: Nilay Agarwal (Huth lab), Leah Du (Hamilton lab), Suna Guo (Huth lab), and Jianing Mu (Huth lab)

Please join us in giving them a warm welcome!
