Hailing from San Diego, Edmund is a rising junior who is majoring in biology with a concentration in neurobiology. This summer Edmund is currently conducting research in Dr. MacIver’s neuropharmacology lab in the Stanford School of Medicine. He is investigating ethanol’s mechanism of action on GABA synapses in the hippocampus. When he’s not in lab, Edmund enjoys eating, playing basketball, and playing darts. In the future, Edmund hopes to attend medical school.

Hailing from San Diego, Edmund is a rising junior who is majoring in biology with a concentration in neurobiology. Over the summer, Edmund is doing research in Dr. MacIver’s neuropharmacology lab in the Stanford Medical School. Currently, he is using electrophysiology techniques to analyze the effects of ethanol on GABA receptors in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in rat brain slices. During his free time, he enjoys eating, playing basketball, and volunteering at Stanford Hospital and Clinics. In the future, Edmund hopes to attend medical school.
