Jane Banahan
Research Assistant at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Jane graduated from Muhlenberg College in May 2024 with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Philosophy. She is interested in the biological mechanisms of behavior, particularly aggression and maladaptive behaviors like substance abuse. She aspires to pursue a PhD in neurobiological sciences that allows her to explore how the biology of the brain facilitates these behaviors. Jane is currently contributing to exploring the molecular mechanisms of brain aging and is excited about upcoming research on the neurobiological mechanisms of opioid use disorder.
Outside of the lab, Jane enjoys exercising, drawing, and playing the guitar.
