Naim Wright

Naim is a postbaccalaureate fellow characterizing novel tools for the creation of transgenic models to study brain development. He completed his undergraduate training at Duke University (2023) where he investigated the relationship between norepinephrine and Neuropeptide Y signaling in the brainstem before joining SCNI in his current role. His future research interests include computational, theoretical, and translational neuroscience leveraging neurogeometry and nonlinear dynamics.
