Sarah Ayash is member 1.000
The Berlin Neuroscience Network, Berlin’s largest online community for researchers in and from Berlin, welcomes its newest member: Dr. Sarah Ayash. She is the 1.000th researcher who joined our community.
Sarah Ayash just started her research group at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin to decode the neuronal mechanisms of resilience to social stress. Her plan is to investigate the role of dopamine, to research possible treatments, develop prevention measures, and to test the transferability of the results to female mice. Before moving to Berlin she developed a behavioral model to differentiate between stress-resilient and stress-susceptible subgroups in a cohort of socially defeated mice, and established an extinction training design for aversive social memories during her doctorate at the University of Mainz. Subsequently, her postdoc research focused on the underlying neuronal mechanisms and identified unique genetic signatures, brain connectivity, and circuits in the two subgroups.
The Berlin Neuroscience Network is an initiative from the Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin, the International Graduate Program Medical Neurosciences and the Cluster of Excellence NeuroCure. All Berlin-based researchers, students and alumnae & alumni of all neuroscientific fields can find mentoring possiblities, job offers, online career events and funding opportunities on this platform. And, of course, interact with each other.
